| Chief Falae |
The kidnap of former presidential candidate and traditional
ruler of Ilu Abo, Chief Olu Falae this morning has added a frightening
dimension to the state of insecurity in Nigeria.
The Afenifere chieftain, according to eyewitness reports
related to the family,was kidnapped on his farm in Ilu Abo by some Hausa-Fulani
men who injured his farmhand who was forced to lead them to where he was.He was
taken to an unknown destination from where the abductors have been speaking
with the family demanding outrageous ransom if they wanted him to return alive.
The kidnap of Chief Falae is coming on the heels of recent
abductions of Vanguard columnist,Ms Donu Kogbara and wife of Deputy Managing
Director of The Sun Newspapers,Mr Steve Nwosu.
As kidnappers are invading the South,Boko Haram continues
the festival of bloodshed in the North.
These are clearly intolerable and the security forces must
rise to the occasion by taking concrete steps to combat the mindless
lawlessness going on across the country.
The first responsibility of every responsible government is
to secure the lives and property of citizens .
We demand the immediate release of Chief Falae and call on
the security agencies to track his abductors swiftly .

National Publicity Secretary
