Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Chief Olu Falae,
who was freed after spending four days in captivity, yesterday recounted his
ordeal.
Falae, who reunited with his family in Akure and was welcomed home by a
crowd, said he slept on the bare floor for four days.
The septuagenarian added that he trekked more than 30 kilometres from his
Ilado farm in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State, where he was
abducted, to a place in Owo Local Government Area where he was kept during his
captivity.
The former SGF was kidnapped on Monday by suspected Fulani herdsmen who
stormed his farm in Ilado. But yesterday, Falae returned to his home in Akure,
the state capital, in company with the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon
Arase, who led the rescue team. Arase and the family said no ransom was paid to
the kidnappers before Falae was released.
However, Falae, who was visibly worried, said he did not sleep in one
location during the four days he was in captivity. His kidnappers moved him from
one location to another to avoid being caught by law enforcement agents.
