A
former Secretary to
Government of the Federation (SGF), Olu Falae, on
Monday has revealed that his family paid ransom to his abductors before
he was freed on Thursday.
He said that the kidnappers only freed him after they received payment, adding that he
trekked for 15 kilometres before he was picked up by the police in Owo,
several kilometres from Akure, the Ondo State capital.
The former minister’s disclosure has put a lie to the claim by the Nigeria police that no ransom was paid before his release.
Recall that after spending four days in the kidnappers den, Falae who
was on Thursday escorted back home by security operatives said he slept
on the floor for four days and trekked several kilometers to get to the
hideout of his abductors.
In an interview after he accompanied Falae home, The Inspector General of Police, 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. He said that no
ransom was paid and that nobody has been arrested. Asked about where the
victim was rescued, the IGP said it was a security matter and not meant
for public consumption.
