The Mapara Moboluwaduro community of Ifo Local
Government Area, Ogun State has been thrown into confusion since Tuesday, May
28, following the abduction of the community’s traditional ruler, Chief Lateef
Adewale Amodemaja at about 10p.m.
Modemaja was whisked away in his ash coloured
Pegeout car at about 10p.m on Tuesday by three men in police uniform. And since
then, he had not returned home and his whereabouts remained unknown.
The family said they had visited police posts and
stations in the area and could not find him. They later reported the matter at
the Eleweran police station.
The incident was said to have happened at the
Baale’s office on Aboro Road, by Rafco Bus Stop. His car was later found at Ita
Oshin in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
His family, chiefs in council and subjects have been greatly worried about his sudden
disappearance.
Daily Sun asked if the Baale had an issue with
anyone before the alleged abduction, one of his chiefs, who craved anonymity
said: “We don’t know who is who and we can’t understand that anyone could do
this, especially to somebody of his status. We can’t recall a recent problem he
has with anyone. We are just worried and can’t understand why this happened.
Eyewitnesses said the men, who took him away wore
police uniform but it is strange that they didn’t leave their contacts or
address. They just took him off in his car at the odd hour of 10p.m on Tuesday
and since then we have been searching for him.
The only thing we have achieved is to find his car
in Ita Oshin, which is several miles from where he was taken. This is why we
strongly believe that he must have been abducted.”
