Police in Ondo have arrested eight suspected kidnappers of Chief Olu Falae. The suspects were arrested after two weeks of the release of the Chief Olu Falae for an undisclosed amount. The men were arrested in Niger, Ekiti and Ondo States respectively.
A source from the Ondo state police command have confirmed the news of the arrest.
Olu Falae Abduction : The kidnapping of former Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), and Afenifere chieftain, Chief Olu Falae in his home in Ilado village, Akure North area of Ondo state, by suspected Fulani herdsmen numbering over 20 might have caused a Nigerian rapper and chairman of Chocolate city, MI Abaga to come out for the former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, after he released a statement threatening the federal government that it would be for the best interest of the current government to see that the Afenifere Chieftain returns home hale and hearty, else "there will be consequences".
The Nigerian rapper and Chairman replies to Mr Femi Fani-Kayode threat via his twitter account, and called the Fani-Kayode a joker, read what MI wrote on his account;
The reply came after Femi Fani-Kayode had released the statement saying :
The abduction of Chief Olu Falae is not only unacceptable but it also an exceptionally dangerous development. I say this because he is not only an elder-statesman of our country but he is also one of the most revered leaders of Afenifere and the south-west.
We cannot sit by idly and watch our leaders and elders being endangered, shamed and humiliated in this way. It is the governments job to keep us all safe and secure and they are failing in that duty. I call on the President and our security agencies to effect the expeditious and immediate release of Chief Olu Falae.
They must rescue him from these vagabonds and vandals as soon as possible before things get out of hand. Let it be clearly understood that if anything happens to him and if he doesn’t come home hale and hearty we will hold the Federal Government responsible and there will be consequences. Those that are in power would do well to take what I have said very seriously.
