A mother of three and a timber merchant in Ondo town, Ondo state, Mrs Folakemi Fadoju has raised the alarm that kidnappers live like kings inside forest along Ore/ Ijebu Ode road highway.
The 41 year old mother said this while narrating her ordeal to Vanguard after she escaped from the kidnappers den.
Folakemi, who spent four days in their captivity, was abducted alongside her seven year old son in Ondo town,Ondo state by four gunmen in her sawmill at about 645 am.
She explained that the four gunmen invaded the sawmill located in Oka along Ondo-Ore road around 6:45am while she was at the sawmill to settle a business transaction
The traumatized mother said the hoodlums, who blindfolded her, bundled her and her sick son into a waiting vehicle, shooting into the air, before taking them to a forest along Ore- Ijebu Ode where she spent four days without food or water.
Narrating her ordeal, Folakemi said that ” “I left early for sawmills to attend to some business and pay my workers who are traveling on this fateful day, but no sooner that I entered the sawmill, these men dragged me into their vehicle, blindfolded me and drove off.
“They drove for some hours and we had to trekked to their hideouts where i met two other people tied to the trees. They demanded for my phone which they used to call my husband. They threatened to kill me if my husband tried to play smart by informing the police.
“The kidnappers contacted my husband, and negotiated for N15m ransom to secure my freedom and our little boy.
“They told me they were kidnappers and said they abducted me because of ransom. They said if I don’t have money they will take my life”
” They tied me and two other persons l met inside the forest and subjected us to all form of torture and threatened to kill me and my son if my husband failed to produced the ransom within 48 hours.
” They tortured me and others with no food or water to drink but they gave my boy water for the four days. They operated in the forest like king”
