The kidnappers of Mrs. Hamdallah Ettu, the wife
of a lecturer in the Department of Biology at the
Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijebu Ode,
Mr. Gbenga Ettu, have demanded the sum of
N20m as ransom.
Mrs Ettu, who traded in foodstuffs, was
kidnapped on Friday evening at Ososa, Ogun
State, on her way home from her shop.
A family source told our correspondent that the
mother of five, who is in her late thirties, was
driving home from her shop with her six-month-
old son when the incident occurred.
The source said, “Mrs. Ettu was driving home in
her Mazda car from the shop where she sells
daily needs and foodstuffs before she was
kidnapped. The incident occurred around after
nine in the evening on Friday.
“The distance between her shop and her house is
not more than five minutes. She was in the car
with her baby who is just six months old but
they only took her and even left her purse and
phones in the car.
“But they have called this morning to demand
the sum of N20m as ransom for her.”
The source added that Mr. Ettu had made
reports at the Idowa Police station.
However, the Ogun State Police Public Relations
Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, told our correspondent
in a text message that he was not aware of
such incident.
He promised to get back but has yet to do so as
of press time.
