From Bamigbola Gbolagunte, Akure
WIFE of the former Chairman, Akoko North West Local Government Area of Ondo state, Mrs Atinuke Ogunmilade was abducted at the weekend by gunmen.
Mrs Ogunmilade was reportedly kidnapped between Ogbagi-Akoko and Ikare-Akoko while traveling in her car.
A Community Leader in the town, Alhaji Rasaq Apalowo, who spoke with Daily Sun, said Mrs Ogumilade was going to her shop in Ikare-Akoko from Ogbagi-Akoko where she lives when she was abducted.
He said the victim was whisked away by suspected gunmen in a Toyota car.
According to Apalowo, the abductors have demanded for N2 million ransom from the family.
He said the kidnappers told the family that Mrs Ogunmilade had been taken to a location close to Ajasepo, in Kwara state.
He appealed to the Police and other security agents in Kwara state to work towards ensuring the release of the victim.
He said the abductors had threatened to kill the woman if the family fails to pay the ransom within five days.
Efforts to get the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), in charge of Ikare- Akoko Police Division, Mr Adewale Suleiman to comment on the incident, proved abortive.
