Kidnappers seize wife of Ondo governor’s Chief of Staff

About 24 hours after bandits killed a first-class traditional ruler in Ondo State, wife of Mr Olugbenga Ale, Chief of Staff to Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has been abducted by suspected kidnappers.

She was kidnapped in the Owena area of Ondo State on Thursday night.

Mrs Ale was said to be in transit when the bandits abducted her and ran into the bush after abducting the woman.

The case was immediately reported to the security agencies including the Amotekun and army, who launched a search for the abducted lady by combing everywhere.

An aide to Governor Akeredolu, who asked not to be named, also confirmed the incident, noting that it occurred late on Thursday.

He said, “The governor is aware of the incident already and has also visited the house of the Chief of Staff at Alagbaka with plans to ensure the safe release of the woman.

“He could not even present the 2021 budget before the state’s House of Assembly and had to send one of his commissioners to do the presentation on his behalf due to the incident.”
