She was declared missing
on the Social Media on
Tuesday, but I can tell
you that Ayobami Jaiyelo,
a female corps member,
has been kidnapped by
one of the dangerous
gang terrorizing Lagos
and environs.
"On Friday, she
suddenly left the
house and walked
outside the main
gate of the estate.
We have not heard
anything from her
since then. Her
phones were here so
there was little we
could do. We asked
the security guards
at the gate if they
noticed anything, but
they said they only
saw her walking out
and no vehicle was
seen nearby."
But her kidnappers have
contacted her family
members for a N10m
ransom. A relative said:
“We did not speak
with Ayobami, but
someone called with
a private number
demanding
N10m. When we
tried to ask further
questions about the
state of our
daughter, the man
terminated the call
abruptly.”
The Lagos State Police
Command has
commenced investigation
into the kidnap of the 29-
year-old lady. She was
last seen while leaving
her elder sister’s house at
Dideolu Estate in the
Oniru area of Lagos in the
evening of Friday last
week.
The relative said the
matter was initially
reported as a case of
missing person. He
said, “We reported the
matter to the Maroko
Police Division, as well as
the state command
headquarters.”
But on Wednesday
afternoon, a man, who
refused to identify himself,
called Ayobami’s elder
sister on phone and
demanded N10m as
ransom.
The victim, who graduated
from the University of
Maryland in the United
States, was said to have
returned to the country in
January for her youth
service. Her place of
NYSC primary assignment
is the Lagos State
Ministry of Works, Alausa,
Ikeja.
Her family is begging that
she should be released,
the police say they are on
top of the situation.
