Kehinde Ikeanabi Jibril, a nursing who was abducted by suspected kidnappers at Ago-Oja town in Asa Local Government Area of Kwara State has been found dead.
The nursing mnother’s decomposing body was discovered by some persons, sparking tension.
The community was thrown into mourning following the discovery of the corpse on Thursday after delivery of part of the ransom demanded.
The corpse was reportedly found on Thursday along Ojoku road in Ago-Oja axis after frantic efforts to locate and rescue her and had since been buried according to Islamic rite.
The community leader of Ago-Oja, Baale Daudu Salaudeen Arolu, informed DAILY POST in a telephone chat on Thursday.
The latest part payment of N6m demanded by the kidnappers was allegedly delivered before the discovery of the nursing mother’s corpse in the early hours of Thursday in Ago-Oja axis.
The kidnappers had last Friday directed the family of the deceased nursing mother to bring the ransom for her release to Eiyekonrin town and later to Ogbomoso, but could not be located.
Kehinde Jibril was abducted two days to the Eidel-fitr celebrations at her husband’s residence in Ago-Oja town.
The kidnappers initially targeted her husband, said to be a cattle dealer, but was not at home, hence they abducted the wife but abandoned her four month old child with the elder siblings.
Another victim abducted alongside Kehinde Ikeanabi on the same day in the town, Oriyomi Babatunde, said to be a student of Kwara state Polytechnic, Ilorin, was also injured during the abduction and later died in the hospital.
