NIGERIA: SIX days after her abduction, the Ogun State Command of the Nigeria Police has offered N5 million reward for anyone who could provide information that would lead to the arrest of the kidnappers of the former Minister of State for Education, Senator Iyabode Anisulowo.
Anisulowo, who represented Ogun West Senatorial District in the National Assembly between 2003 and 2007, was kidnapped last Wednesday by unknown gunmen at Igbogila while returning from her farm in Sawonjo in Yewa North Local Government.
The police have gotten no clues on her whereabouts since the abduction despite immediate response by the Ogun State Command.
Apparently after unfruitful efforts, the police dangled the money to anyone with useful information on how to trace the kidnappers of the 65-year-old politician.
The command Public Relations Officer, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi said: “The Ogun State Police Command has offered N5m (Five million naira only) reward to any informant(s) who has useful information for the police on the kidnapping of the former senator and minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Iyabo Anisulowo, who was kidnapped recently at Sawonjo/Iganokoto area of Ogun State.”
In a press release made available to GatewayMail, Adejobi said that the Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali, made the declaration after a security meeting with some officers of the command and other security agencies’ chiefs.
“Other security Chiefs who were present at the meeting included the Commander 35 Artillery Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Alamala, Abeokuta, Brig. Gen S. Danwalis and the Director of Department of State Security Ogun State Mr. Kabir Sanni,” he said.
He added: “The Commissioner of Police Ogun State therefore appeals to the general public to support the police and give useful information that can assist in the rescue operation of the kidnapped victim.”
Adejobi also disclosed that the command had dedicated some telephone lines: 09020911911, 08081774631 and 08081766937 where useful information could be passed across to the police.
He assured that informant would enjoy adequate confidentiality and security as every information on the kidnapping would be made confidential.
