 Mrs. Olubunmi Oke was kidnapped on Thursday by four gunmen.She is a Journalist with Nigerian Television Authority,Akure.
The General Manager of the station, Mrs. Bennie Mordi, gave details about her abduction:
says that the incident occurred around 8.30 p.m, in front of Jojain Hotel, Oba-Ile, while returning from work.Mrs Oke, who was going home with her baby and the housemaid, was kidnapped alone, leaving the others.
Mordi, said “this is serious, I cannot imagine what they wanted from a journalist, where is the money they wanted. I pray for God’s immediate intervention for safety and peaceful release of my staff.”
Meanwhile, the victim’s mother simply called Mrs. Lawal, yesterday received an SMS from the abductors, demanding a ransom of N8 million for her release. She appealed to the law enforcement agencies to ensure her freedom from the abductors.
May God grant her quick release.Boko Haram,Kidnappings,have they come to stay in Naija?
There is an Igbo adage that best describes these vices : ''Onye ara mu ta ita atu,osisi agwu n'ofia''
