Segun Oyebolu

 A frontline socialite who owns one of the biggest hotel in Ijebu Ode, Citi Hotels and Suites, located at Imowo area along Ago Iwoye- Ibadan road, Ijebu Ode was yesterday abducted by some men suspected to be kidnappers.

Our correspondent gathered that the man, Segun Oyebolu, who is in his mid 40s, was whisked away from his office located at Erinlu area in Odogbolu Local Government Area of Ogun State, Southwest Nigeria.

Since Oyebolu, who is also the founder of a non-government organisation, NGO, Feed The Elderly Foundation was abducted, his family was yet to be contacted.

A family source told our correspondent this morning that his lines were switched off early this morning.
“They were ringing since yesterday but nobody picked them, but now they have been switched off. We don’t know what is going on now.

Meanwhile, the kidnappers have not contacted us, we don’t know his condition. I want to appeal to the government to tighten up security in the country as kidnapping is not part of us here, it is common in the Eastern part of the country. The government should not sleep over this matter, it seems this people are gradually spreading to the western part.”

The kidnapping of Oyebolu, who threw a big birthday bash for his father during the weekend in Lagos has caused a stir in the town as several questions have been asked by the residents.

Also, a police source from Igbeba police station who does not want his name mentioned confirmed the incident to our correspondent and disclosed that they have begun searching for the man.

“It is true that Mr. Segun Oyebolu, owner of Citi Hotels and Suites was abducted by some people suspected to be kidnappers yesterday at about 6 p.m. and we have commenced a search for him with the help of his family members,” the source confirmed.
