THE wife of Oba Lumure Ayelomi of Ayeka
in Okitipupa area of Ondo State, Olori Dupe has
been found dead 10 days after she was reportedly
kidnapped.
Vanguard learnt that she was allegedly murdered
after her abductors collected N2 million ransom
from the monarch. Her corpse was reportedly
found where her abductors asked the family to
bring the ransom to.
It was gathered that the Olori was abducted by
five kidnappers at her residence along Erinje
Road, Okitipupa. Vanguard learned that the
abductors, who later contacted the family two
days after she was abducted, demanded for N30
million.
The family reportedly pleaded with the kidnappers
to consider the economic situation in the country
and bring down the ransom. The abductors
reluctantly agreed to take N2 million.
Police sources hinted that a disagreement ensued
among the abductors that the amount agreed
upon was too meagre. However, the family was
informed to come with the ransom and pick the
Olori at Sagamu, Ogun State.
They later changed it to Ode-Aye in Okitipupa
Local Government Area of Ondo State. Vanguard
gathered that after waiting endlessly till 3a.m.
on the day, they left.
On the following day, however, the family
organized a search party and her corpse was
later found in the outskirts of Ode-Aye, along
Ore Road.
Speaking with newsmen, one of the deceased's
children, Taye, said the incident had devastated
the family of the monarch.
Meanwhile, the corpse of the deceased has been
deposited at the Okitipupa Specialist Hospital
mortuary.
The State Police image maker, Wole Ogodo,
confirmed the incident, saying the killers will
soon be arrested and brought to book.
