Jumoke Bamigboye, wife of a former military administrator of Osun State, Colonel Theophilus Bamigboye (rtd), has been set free by the gunmen that abducted her last Saturday.
Mrs Bamigboye, who was abducted at Eiyenkorin, a suburb of Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State, on her way from the family’s farm, was released Monday night by her abductors.
Mrs Bamigboye, a Magistrate and member of Rotary Club International, was returning from her farm in Oko-Olowo where she went to supervise garri processing, which was to be supplied to some customers when she was accosted by the gunmen.
However, the kidnappers later contacted the victim’s family demanding for a N100m ransom.
Spokesman of the Kwara State Police Command, Ajayi Okasanmi,said that three suspects had been arrested in connection with the kidnapping of Mrs Bamigboye.
Okasanmi was, however, silent on whether any ransom was paid to the kidnappers before she was released.
Meanwhile, sympathizers have been trooping to the residence of Colonel Bamigboye’s GRA residence in Ilorin to congratulate him on the release of his wife.
