Conflicting reports emerge on abduction of Kwara OPC leader

There are conflicting reports on the abduction of a leader of the Odua Peoples Congress OPC, Bayo Fabiyi, which reportedly occurred on Monday in Oke-Irese, in Irepodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.

Earlier reports indicated that he was abducted by bandits alongside two others while on a mission to deliver N30 million ransom and other items demanded for the release of an abducted victim in Oko-Irese community.

However, the earlier reports have been dismissed by the state Police Commissioner, Ojo Adekimi, and the Coordinator of the Kwara South Joint Security Network, Comrade Zubair Olaitan.

While the police commissioner who spoke to DAILY POST on phone, described the report as fake, the coordinator of the joint security network said only N2 million and not N30 million was with the OPC leader, for delivery to the bandits, before he was abducted.

He also refuted reports that the bandits demanded five motorcycles and three bags of rice, as stated by one of the OPC leader’s children who spoke with him.

The bandits had reportedly demanded N30 million ransom, five motorcycles and three bags of rice for the release of one abducted victim, which the OPC leader and two others went to deliver leading to their abduction by the hoodlums.
