Mr.
Falae, a chieftain of the Pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere and National
Chairman of the Social Democratic Party, was on Monday abducted at his
Ilado farm along Igbatoro Road, Akure North Local Government Area of
Ondo State.
The kidnappers, a spokesperson for Mr. Falae’s party said, want the ransom paid latest by end of Tuesday.
The
publicity secretary for the SDP, Remi Olayiwole, told PREMIUM TIMES via
telephone that the gunmen stormed the farm at about 2pm on Monday,
shooting sporadically into the air.
“They met him in his farm at Ilado and were shooting before taking him away,” Mr. Olayiwole said.
“His
wife received a phone call from the kidnappers later, and a voice was
heard telling the family to bring N100million before the end of
tomorrow(Tuesday) before he will be released.”
Contacted, the Ondo State Police Spokesman, Wole Ogodo, said he needed more time to put the facts of the matter together.
