By Niyi Olutunde, Akure
The kidnapped Permanent Secretary, Ondo State Hospitals Management
Board, Dr Niran Ikuomola has regained his freedom after spending
six days with his kidnappers.
It would be recalled that Dr Ikuomola was kidnapped alongside with his driver by some gunmen on Sunday evening along the Okene-Lokoja-Abuja Road while on an official trip to Abuja.
It was gathered that the medical practitioner was released after
payment of an undisclosed amount of
ransom.
The state governor, Mr Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN), has
congratulated Ikuomola on his release.
Akeredolu also congratulated members of the immediate family of
Ikuomola and members of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) on the release of the abducted Permanent Secretary in the state.
The governor, who joyfully welcomed Dr. Ikuomola back home, thanked his
immediate family and his professional colleagues for their support and prayers during the trying period.
Akeredolu, however, hailed the heroic performance of the security
agencies in the state, especially security personnel in the office of
the governor for their efforts in ensuring that Ikuomola regains his
freedom from the kidnappers.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Segun Ajiboye, the governor assured members of the public of his administration’s
determination to continue to protect lives and properties, adding that no
stone would be left unturned in ensuring that Ondo State is made
conducive for all categories of peace-loving people.
