Falae: I trekked for 30km, slept on the floor

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.
