My abductors almost used me for ritual – Osun lawmaker’s father
The father of Adewunmi Kofoworola Babajide, the lawmaker representing Ede North State Constituency in Osun State House of Assembly, Pa Muftau Lawal has narrated how he was almost used for ritual by his abductors.
Pa Lawal, who was abducted in front of his house at Ede over a month ago, recounted his ordeal in the hands of his kidnappers.
The octogenarian, whose son is also the Minority Leader in the Osun Assembly in an interview on Saturday in Ede, revealed that he was caught unawares when some individuals came to his house on motorcycles and started threatening to kill him.
According to him, “I was in front of my house in the evening when I saw these people in their numbers. They alighted from motorcycles and some children who were playing beside where I sat, ran away. Some of them said they should burn me alive while some said they should gun me down and I was already scared when one of them said they should pour petrol on me and set me alight.
