OLU FALAE KIDNAPPERS ARRESTED IN NIGER STATE.

Five of the abductors of the former Secretary to
the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae,
have been arrested.
This came three weeks after he was kidnapped on
his farm at Ilado Village in Akure North local
government area of Ondo State, by some
suspected Fulani herdsmen.
A close source to the family of the elder
statesman confirmed to DAILY POST that three of
the hoodlums were arrested in Niger State last
Sunday while the other two were apprehended
during the week.
The source said all the suspects are now in the
custody of Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the
State Police Command, Akure, adding that the
police were still on the trail of the other fleeing
suspects.
“Five of them have been arrested, three were
arrested in Niger State on Sunday while two
others were arrested somewhere I cannot say for
now, but all the suspects arrested are now in the
custody of SARS.
” The police are still searching for the other seven
suspects and I am sure they too will be arrested
very very soon,” he stated.
When contacted on the telephone, however, the
state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Femi
Joseph, could not confirm the development, but
said the issue of the kidnap of the former Minister
for Finance was being handled by the Inspector
General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase.
“I don’t know anything about the issue again; it is
the IG that has taken over the issue of Chief Falae
because it is a national issue. The IG is likely to
brief the press about the development tomorrow
(Monday),” Joseph stated.
