Unknown gunmen in the early hours of Monday abducted the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Olu Falae in his farm at Akure, the Ondo State capital. Already, his captors have made contact with his family demanding N100 million ransom.

Police source said the gunmen were in possession of ‎dangerous weapons, including charms and high calibre rifles. But a source said his abductors may be herdsmen who have always caused havoc in that area.

A family source, who earlier reported the news to the Police in a terse message, said family members were shocked by the incident.

“Baba has been kidnapped” the family member said in a message.

A police source in Akure also confirmed the abduction to our correspondent.

The Afenifere leader was last seen at a public function during the remembrance of ‎the late Gani Fawehinmi held at Adegbemile Cultural Centre in Akure, the Ondo State capital.
