Gunmen kidnap industrialist, kill driver in Osun

One of the frontline industrialists in Osun State, Mrs. Olayinka Obaleye, popularly known as Yinka Oba, was on Tuesday night abducted by some gunmen in Ilesa.

Our correspondent gathered that the septugenarian had closed at her factory, which produces mattresses, while her captors, who had apparently been hanging around, swooped on her.

Obaleye’s driver, whose name was not immediately known, was said to have been shot and killed by the gunmen before they drove away their target.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Folasade Odoro, who confirmed the kidnap, said the police were on the trail of the abductors.
