The abductors of Titilola, wife of former military
governor of the defunct Western Region, Brig-Gen Oluwole Rotimi (retd), have
demanded N200m as ransom from the family.
A close family source, who
spoke on Wednesday on the condition of anonymity, told our correspondent
in Ibadan.
Mrs. Rotimi was abducted on Monday by
gunmen, who stormed her company, OAK Logistics Limited, and whisked her
away in a green Nissan Primera car at about 6.30pm.
The Oyo State Police Command through
its Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ayodele Lanade, said the command was not
aware of any ransom being demanded by the abductors.
Lanade, however, stated that
investigations were ongoing on the matter.
The PPRO added that the police had
beefed up security around the company.
When our correspondent visited Mrs.
Rotimi’s residence on Wednesday, his aides said they had been instructed not to
allow anybody access into the house.
One of them, speaking on the
condition of anonymity, said, “Oga said that we must not allow anybody to enter
and we have been told not to answer anybody seeking to have information on the matter.”
