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 reason behind the abduction has remained a daunting
task for the police and mystery to family members of the victim.
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.
Sunday Vanguard reliably gathered that the two-day
wedding preparation 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
sympathisers, the groom was found naked 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
was 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
