The abductors of a Lagos traditional ruler, Oniba of Iba Town, Oba Yushau Oseni who was kidnapped in his palace, have explained the reason behind their action, just as they contacted the family yesterday demanding N500 million ransom before his release.
In an interview with Saturday Vanguard, a palace source who preferred anonymity, disclosed that the abductors have contacted the family and demanded N500 million before he would be released.
On the reason for his abduction, the family source said, “They (kidnappers) said that he (Oba) is highly influential in the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode administration and the administration recognises his contribution to the development of the state. But a member of the family who spoke with the abductors begged them yet they refused even as they assured the family that the king was safe with them.”
According to one of the palace staff, “the kidnappers during conversation argued that they could not continue their pipeline vandalism because President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has intensified security around the pipelines, hence, the option of kidnapping.”
The kidnappers were said to have threatened that it was the beginning of their operation, saying, “South-West states should be prepared for more.”
“We are appealing to them (kidnappers) not to hurt him and allow him return home safely”, he begged.
