The abducted but rescued principal of Community High School Ahoro Esinele, Oriire local government area of Ogbomoso Oyo state, Mrs. Rachael Alamu, Saturday, at the palace of the Soun of Ogbomosoland, received a car gift, presented by a politician in Ibadan.

Recall the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming general elections recently during a sympathy visit to the rescued victims at the military hospital in Odogbo Cantonment, Ibadan, announced the donation of a car, Toyota Corolla (2014), to her as a compensation sequel to the burning of her car by the bandits who abducted them. The car was presented to her during the ceremony at the palace, however, it was collected on her behalf by her husband, Professor Wole Alamu.

In the same vein, one of the rescued vice principals was presented a motorcycle by the Ogbomosoland Consultative Council (OCC), as there was information that his motorcycle was also taken away during the operation by the criminals.

OCC in addition gifted food items as relief support (packages of rice) to all the victims including the students and pupils from Ahoro-Esinele, Yawota and Alawusa, who were all brought to the ceremony.

This Soun Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye also unveiled the plan of his family to offer special package for the families of the slain teachers. “This would be actualized after discussing with my wife and children,” it was disclosed, as a zoom meeting was held between the three widows and mother of a slain student (or their representatives) and the wife and children of the Kabiyesi later.

ogbomosoinsightonline.com uncovered later that the four would be empowered by way of trading.

Oba Olaoye meanwhile advised the victims to stop granting press interviews saying their accounts are appearing contradictory and so being exploited to reinforce the claim the kidnap was stage-managed.
