The decomposing body of a nursing mother, Kehinde Jibril, abducted by suspected kidnappers at Ago-Oja town in Asa Local Government Area of Kwara State, has been discovered.
The corpse was found on Thursday along Ojoku
Road in Ago-Oja axis of Ilorin after frantic efforts to locate and rescue her
from her abductors.
Kehinde had since been buried according to
Islamic rites at Ago-Oja.
It was gathered that the family of the
deceased had made part payment of the ransom demanded by the kidnappers.
The traditional chief of Ago-Oja, Baale Daudu
Arolu, confirmed the discovery of the corpse and burial of Kehinde in a
telephone interview.
Sources close to the family of the deceased
disclosed that the latest part payment of N6m demanded by the kidnappers was
allegedly delivered before the discovery of the nursing mother’s corpse.
The kidnappers had last Friday reportedly
directed the family of the deceased to bring the ransom for her release to
Eiyekonrin town and later to Ogbomoso in Oyo State, but they could not be
located.
It would be recalled that Kehinde was
abducted two days to the Eidel-fitr celebrations at her husband’s residence in
Ago-Oja.
The kidnappers initially targeted her husband
said to be a cattle dealer, but abducted the wife because the husband was not
at home when the kidnappers came calling.
Another victim abducted alongside Kehinde on
the same day in the town, Oriyomi Babatunde, was also injured during the
abduction and later died in the hospital.
