WIFE OF OSUN STATE SPEAKER KIDNAPPED

The wife of Osun State Speaker, Mr Najeem Salaam, was kidnapped yesterday by unknown gunmen in Ejigbo, Osun State. Muiba, the first wife of the Speaker, was kidnapped in the Bamagay Square area of the town shortly after she had left her shop where she sold bags of rice, semovita and groundnut oil.

Her Honda car was overtaken by the vehicle of a six-member gang forcing her Honda car to stop along Union Baptist Road in the Oke-Oyo area of Ejigbo, the Speaker’s hometown. Muiba alighted and attempted to run from the kidnappers but they stopped her and forced her into a waiting car.

The Chairman, House Committee on Regional Integration and Special Duties, Mr Femi Fafiyebi, who confirmed the development, said the news was “shocking.” The kidnappers are yet to make any demands.
