I slept on the floor for 4 days and trekked for several kilometers- Chief Olu Falae

Chief Olu Falae who was yesterday escorted back home
by security operatives after been kidnapped for 4 days
said he slept on the floor during that time and trekked
several kilometers with his kidnappers.
Falae said this while narrating his ordeal in the hands of
his abductors to the state governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko
who visited him after he was excorted home by the
Police. He said he had been kidnapped Fulani herdsmen
who invaded his farm on Monday.
According to him, after he was kidnapped he was made to
trek with the herdsmen from his farm located at Ilado in
Akure North to Owo in the same state.
Falae told the governor that for the four days he was
with the Fulani herdsmen he slept on bare ground and
trekked several kilometers throughout the night to get to
the hideout of the kidnappers.
According to him, when his family offered to pay N2
million, his abductors said: “Is it Boko Haram that
your family wants to give N2 million?”
A family member said that their father said that any
time he was exhausted, one of the eight herdsmen, took
turns to carery him on their backs until they got to Owo.
In an interview after he accompanied Chief Olu Falae
home, IGP Arase said:
“The important thing now is that Baba Falae is
back home safe and sound according to the
mandate given to me by the President.
“President Muhammadu Buhari gave me a
mandate and that is what I have done exactly,
rescuing Baba Falae and bringing him back home
safe and sound.’’
He vowed that the Police will continue to battle
insecurity.
According to him:
“We are going to diversify our strategy so that
hoodlums will not overwhelm the state.
‘’We will continue to degrade, catch and bring
them to book.
He said that no ransom was paid and that nobody has
been arrested.
