Falae was kidnapped on Monday at his farm in Ondo State by people described as Fulani herdsmen. We earlier reported that the abductors demanded N100 million ransom but the family managed to raise N2million, the abductors rejected it and reduced the ransom to N90m. It was not known at the time of filing this report if any ransom was paid.
But President Muhammadu Buhari earlier yesterday condemned the abduction of Falae and ordered the security agencies to ensure his safe rescue.
Also, Afenifere, the socio-cultural group in the South West earlier yesterday warned against anything untoward happening to Falae.
Afenifere in a statement by its Spokesman,Yinka Odumakin urged northern leaders to ask the Fulani herdsmen to release the former presidential candidate. Afenifere revealed that Falae and the Fulani herdsmen had been engaged in some running battles over his farm..
Falae’s reported release is expected to douse the tension trailing his kidnap.
