Wife of Osun Speakerkidnapped

Unknown gunmen in Ejigbo, Osun State, on Tuesday, kidnapped the wife
of the Speaker, Osun State House of Assembly, Mr Najeem Salaam.
Muiba, the first wife of the Speaker, was kidnapped in the Bamagay
Square area of the townshortly after she had left her shopwhere she
sold bags of rice, semovita and groundnut oil.
Her Honda car was overtaken by the vehicle of a six-member gang. The
gang reportedly forced her Honda car to stop along Union Baptist Road
in the Oke-Oyo area of Ejigbo, the Speaker's hometown.
Our correspondent learnt that Muiba, who alighted and attempted to run
from the kidnappers, was stopped and forced into a waiting car.
Chairman, House Committee on Regional Integration and Special Duties,
Mr Femi Fafiyebi, confirmed the development, saying the news was
"shocking."
"I just heard about it a few minutes ago. Osun is a very peaceful
state. We are the only state that checked flooding and created the
most enabling environment in the south-west. I don't know why this
should happen in our dear state," Fafiyebi said.
Police Public Relations Officer, Osun Command, Mrs Sade Odoro, who
promised to get across to our correspondent over the development
failed to do so.
Her phone was switched off when our correspondent called her back for
confirmation.
Sources gathered that it is in Odoro's character to ignore inquiries
by journalists over crimematters in the state.
