There is tension in the Ibarapa area of Oyo State over rising cases of kidnapping and robbery cases.
In March, a popular businessman in the area, Olusegun Olosunde, and another person identified as Amubieya were both kidnapped in Igangan. The letter signed by Prince Tayo Akinyemi said victims of these kidnappings revealed how the hoodlums usually boasted of their level of influence with people in power.
“Similarly, on 3rd November 2019, around 4:00 am, an indigene of Igboora and then head of the vigilante group, Tajudeen Ayanwale, was killed in a mission to rescue a Fulani businessman named Bakare Adamu; one kidnapper was equally killed. “Night parties were cancelled and curfew imposed from 10 pm till 5am. With this local intelligence, peace has been temporarily restored until the night of Monday, 14th April 2020 when the news emerged that wife of an Ibarapa monarch, Olori Funbi Ojo, and daughter were kidnapped on their way home around 8pm at gunpoint. Efforts of various security personnel proved abortive before they were later released on the night of Wednesday, 16th April 2020 after payment of N2.5m ransom.
