The kidnappers of Mrs. Hamdallah Ettu, the wife of a lecturer in the Department of Biology at the Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijebu Ode, Mr. Gbenga Ettu, have demanded the sum of N20m as ransom.
Mrs Ettu, who traded in foodstuffs, was kidnapped on Friday evening at Ososa, Ogun State, on her way home from her shop.
A family source told our correspondent that the mother of five, who is in her late thirties, was driving home from her shop with her six-month-old son when the incident occurred.
The source said, “Mrs. Ettu was driving home in her Mazda car from the shop where she sells daily needs and foodstuffs before she was kidnapped. The incident occurred around after nine in the evening on Friday.
“The distance between her shop and her house is not more than five minutes. She was in the car with her baby who is just six months old but they only took her and even left her purse and phones in the car.
“But they have called this morning to demand the sum of N20m as ransom for her.”
The source added that Mr. Ettu had made reports at the Idowa Police station.
However, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, told our correspondent in a text message that he was not aware of such incident.
He promised to get back but has yet to do so as of press time.
