Kidnapped Osun Speaker’s Wife Freed; Abductors Killed In Gun Battle

Muibat, wife of the Speaker, Osun State House of Assembly, Mr. Najeem Salaam, has been rescued. She was rescued from her abductors along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, at Ogunmakin village in Obafemi-Owode local government area of Ogun State by security operatives (the state's vigilante service) who acted on tip-off.
Two of her abductors were also killed while three others were abducted by the vigilance group.

Mrs. Salam was kidnapped in Osun State as she left her goods store on Tuesday . The kidnappers then transferred her to Ogun where she was rescued.


The vigilance group, established by the Ogun State Government, reportedly worked on a tip-off by residents of the area.

The kidnappers, realising that their hideout was exposed, tried to escape with their victim. They were engaged in a shootout by the Ogun vigilante, which led to the death of two of the kidnappers and arrest of three others.

Thankfully, the wife of the Speaker was rescued unhurt.
