Five of the suspected abductors of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Chief Olu Falae, have been arrested.
The balance of N800,000 from the alleged N5 million ransom paid by the family has also been recovered by a special police crack team which handled the investigation, Daily Sun reports.
Top security sources who declined to be named, based on the sensitivity of the case debunked speculations that the kidnap was an ethnic affair, even as the source revealed that some Fulani herdsmen were actually among those who took part in Falae’s kidnap.
The source, who described the abductors as hardened criminals, said that the motorcycle used by the kidnappers is now in the custody of the Police.
He confirmed that N5million was paid as ransom to the kidnappers before Falae was released and that negotiations on how the ransom was paid, was actually carried out in Abuja, by the prime suspect, even as the source said that the money was withdrawn from one of the new generation banks in Akure (name withheld).
The day the money was withdrawn, September, 26, which was the same day Falae regained his freedom from his abductors, was clearly stamped on money wraps paid as ransom, it was gathered.
However, the source said apart from Fulani herdsmen who participated in the deal, investigators are suspicious of inside collaborators who they are now going after as the police believe the herdsmen would not have successfully carried out their plans without assistance from an insider.
Though details of the arrest are still sketchy, it’s gathered from a reliable source in Ondo that the suspects who are all Fulani, were picked up from Ondo, Ekiti and Niger states where they were said to have dispersed to spend the ransom.

So, Yesterday, October 11th was International Day of the Girl Child and to mark the day in her own way, Nigerian Singer – Waje shared an inspiring message on Instagram.
The single mother of one wrote about how difficult things were for her when she was pregnant and how she pulled through because she had a support system.
In an emotional note on her Instagram page, Waje also shared the tale of how her journey as a single parent has been so far.
She went on to advocate the re-education of modern day women.
Read her post below:
Today, the 11th of October, is the International Day of the Girl Child and I really want to celebrate my childhood and thank God for how blessed I am to have the mother that trained me. I want to celebrate my daughter… The best thing that has ever happened to me and the most important person in my life!
When I was still pregnant with my daughter, I had very tough decisions to make; would I have to quit the university to raise my child? Would I be able to live my lifelong dream of being a musician? Would I be able to raise my daughter single handedly? How would I make ends meet?
I was one of the lucky ones, the ones with a support system of mothers , of parents pushing their daughters to pursue an education, to continue to dream, to work towards their dream and to continually inspire, motivate and push other young women to excel.
I look around me and I worry about the future of women and girls. I worry about the world I am building for my daughter and her friends. I worry about how our legislation affects girls. I worry about our girls being married off to men their fathers’ age when they should be in school. I see inequality everywhere and I wonder how these young girls who we are celebrating today will cope if we sit and do nothing about their future. Does every single woman have to fight her way through and with everything to remain honourable and respected in her field? I wonder about all these things… But nothing bothers me more than the inaction by women in power and authority.
Too often women fail to empower each other. We forget that our daughters too will follow our actions and not just our words and as the world shrinks into a global village, it will also be our fault that our girls are not sitting on the table and contributing to decisions that ultimately affect them.
There is so much work to do to re-educate the modern day woman to remind her that we are not each other’s adversaries but that there is strength in sisterhood. To teach the generations that come after about those that paved the way for us. Now it is time to open doors for our daughters and sisters and to embrace our weaknesses together and turn them into strengths.
We can blame legislation. We can blame men. We can blame War but if we do not take responsibility for our future, we only have ourselves to blame! I am speaking directly to everyone, especially women in positions of influence and power. What are we doing to educate, enlighten and empower young women and girls to compete equally in the society?
It is time to take responsibility and save the world… It is time raise more women! In our case, It is time to educate and empower the African Woman!
Delectable Nollywood Actress, Ebube Nwagbo sat down with Saturday Sun and she spoke about her greatest body asset.
Her words:
“My greatest asset should be my body. My hip is my greatest body asset.My style is very classic, simple and daring. It has also evolved over the years.
I wouldn’t be caught wearing loud colours or a matchy outfit because it is not my style. My favourite fashion accessory is my sunglass and I can’t do without it.
I love it because it compliments and completes even the simplest look. I hardly wear make-up, so, my sunglasses serve as a protection of some sort for my face.
It also shields my face away from prying eyes. Those are some of the reasons why I consider it to be my favourite accessory.”

Still on the AGN (Actors’ Guild Of Nigeria) leadership tussle – Ibinabo Fiberesima Vs. Emeka Ike!
It’s been weeks now since Segun Arinze blasted Emeka Ike saying,
“He should grow up. As far as I am concerned, Ibinabo Fiberesima is the bonafide president. Even in the recent judgement that came out recently telling us to return to the status quo, what does it mean? We were told to go back to the way we were. There was no time Emeka Ike was pronounced the president of AGN. Let him bring out the copy of the judgement and show us if he is man enough. He should wake up and stop embarrassing the guild.”
In response, Emeka Ike told Punch:
“I heard Segun Arinze was interviewed and he said so many things about me and nobody asked me for my own side. I don’t think it was a balanced report. Segun Arinze did not say anything meaningful, he was just cursing himself. That is not how to handle legal matters. In legal matters, we take things from the law’s point of view. Segun that is talking to the journalist is supposed to be behind bars because he committed a crime that should have sent him to jail. There was an order that he violated by bringing in Ibinabo as the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria. I have been saying this since. That is why Ibinabo’s tenure was called ‘contentious.’
“Why should we the educated people allow market people to talk? I am a very cerebral person and I don’t deal with men who cannot read and do not understand the legalities of the paper they have in their hand. I cannot be trading words with a common street boy because if you did not go to school, you cannot understand some legal issues. So, he cannot assess the judgement of the court of law.”
President Barack Obama Has some words of advice to Kanye West after he declared his intention for the 2020 Presidential race.
Obama who was in San Francisco on Saturday for a DNC Fundraiser where Kanye is billed to perform joked about Yeezy’s White House Plans — saying if elected — Kanye will be The Peezy.
Later, you are going to hear from a guy who I hear has been talking about launching a political career .You may have heard about this,Kanye is thinking about running for speaker of the house But incase Kanye is serious about this..or as he calls it “Peezy(a likely nickname for president,culled from Yeezy), I do have some advice for him.First of all you have to spend sometime dealing with ,some strange characters that behave like they are on a reality show.So you got to be cool with that…
Second important tip,
saying that you have a beautiful dark twisted fantasy(In reference to Kanye’s critically acclaimed album).That’s what’s known as off message in politics.You can’t say something like that.
And number three, do you think that this country is going to elect a black guy from the south side of Chicago to be president of the United states…That is crazy..That’s cray(slang for crazy)
