I’ve Passed That Level Of Being Abducted, Nobody Can Kidnap Me – Governor Akeredolu Boasts

I’ve Passed That Level Of Being Abducted, Nobody Can Kidnap Me – Governor Akeredolu Boasts 1

Ondo State Governor, Oluwatotimi Akeredolu has revealed that sometimes his convoy is being confronted by suspected kidnappers on Akure-Ilesa-Ibadan highway.

While speaking about insecurity during a live TV/Radio programme in the state tagged “Speak With Mr. Governor”, Akeredolu bragged that with his status, he can no longer be kidnapped.

The governor said that on several occasions his convey is being confronted by kidnappers, but they always run into the bush when his security men opened fire. He said:

“I’ve encountered then once or twice as governor. My convoy was almost attacked but my security people shot into the air to scare them (kidnappers) to the bush. That’s the advantage we have as governors. It is a serious problem on Akure-Ibadan road.

“I remember, I had to tell my people (convoy) to move. Where ever they are, we confronted them. There’s no need to run away. Even at a time of such incidence, my orderly was shaking. Even if I walk, they can’t kidnap me. I have passed that stage. They dare not try it.

“It is real that lives of travellers are not safe on the road. On a serious note, kidnapping is not limited to just poor people, but for us with convoys we move easily.

The governor added that, “Armed robbery is fading away and it’s being replaced by kidnapping. It now criminals new fashion trend.”
