Ondo State Governor, Oluwatotimi
Akeredolu, on Sunday evening boasted that with his status, he can no longer be
kidnapped; stressing that only those with security convoys are safe from the
menace of kidnappers.
Akeredolu, who was speaking
during a live TV/Radio programme in the state tagged “Speak With Mr. Governor”
revealed that sometimes his convoy has been confronted by suspected kidnappers
on Akure-Ilesa-Ibadan highway.
According to him, on those
occasions the kidnappers always run into the bush when his security men opened
fire.
“I’ve encountered them once or
twice as governor.
“I remember, I had to tell my
people (convoy) to move. Where ever they are, we confronted them. There’s no
need to run away.
“Even at a time of such
incidence, my orderly was shaking.
“Even if I walk, they can’t
kidnap me. I have passed that stage. They dare not try it.
“It is real that lives of
travellers are not safe on the road. On a serious note, kidnapping is not
limited to just poor people, but for us with convoys we move easily.
The governor added that, “Armed
robbery is fading away and it’s being replaced by kidnapping. It now criminals
new fashion trend.”
