Men of Kwara State police command have commenced investigation into the abduction of a 35-year-old petrol attendant kidnapped during his wedding and found five days after.
The spokesman of Kwara State police command, Mr Femi Elubode, said though he had received calls on the incident, the A Division Police Station at Challenge, Ilorin, where the incident was said to have been reported, had not briefed his office.
”And if we are not officially briefed of any incident, it will be difficult to know the level of investigation. I have not been briefed yet,” Elubade said.
The two-day wedding between the victim, Zubair Aliyu Balogun, and his heartrob had commenced on Thursday, September 27, only for him to disappear on Friday morning, and his whereabouts remained unknown for five days.
After intensive search by family members and sympathizers, the groom was found by an Okada rider in a bush at Kangu-Olunlade village, Ilorin, where he was purportedly dumped by his abductors early Tuesday morning, October 2, 2012, drenched in the early morning rain and shivering.
Zubair, who was said to have begged the Okada rider to call members of his family, was then taken to a private hospital where he was later traced.
The victim had since been hospitalised.
Contacted, head of Balogun-Fulani family, where the victim hails from, Alhaji Mahmud Durosinlorun Atiku Fulani, said there was no suspicion prior to the abduction, vowing that the family would use all legal and spiritual means to get to the root of the matter and fish out the perpetrators.
What do you think was the reason for the abduction, if no ransom demands were made?
