Our abductors demand Buhari, Ahmed phone numbers
Kwara State chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Alhaji Ishola Balogun-Fulani, has disclosed that his abductors demanded from him, the phone numbers of President Muhammadu Buhari. Fulani and his party secretary, Chief Bode Adekanye, who were kidnapped and released last weekend said the abductors who said they were looking for money also demanded the phone number of Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed from whom they expected good money would come.
They made this known in Ilorin, Kwara State, while recounting their experience in the hands of the kidnappers before they were rescued and taken to the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari. According to him, they trekked non-stop from 7.30 am to 8.00pm in thick forests without food or water while they were made to sleep on bare ground at night. Balogun-Fulani said though the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solmon Arase, tried by deploying helicopters to carry out aerial NANsearch for them the search crew could not see them because of the thick forest covering them.
The APC chairman said their abductors asked whether he was a Fulani man to which he answered in the affirmative but was told they don't go for sentiments but money irrespective of who their captives were. Also speaking, Adekanye, the secretary, said the kidnappers who disclosed that they were Fulani spoke in both Fulfude and pidgin English and were smoking marijuana and sniffing cocaine freely in the jungle.
He said another man from Ondo State was also by the kidnappers who appear like Special Anti Robbery Squad policemen with the clothes they wore and the AK-47 riffles they were holding. Adekanye said the abductors talked to them for several hours in the bush, telling them that they were kidnappers and accused the captives of using their positions to kill Fulani herdsmen.
He said after they allowed them to get in touch with their relations on phone, the abductors warned that if they see any sign of soldiers at the point of paying the demanded ransoms, the captives would simply be wasted.
