A seven-year-old girl, Olumide Basorun, whose mother was abducted by four unknown assailants on her way to a church programme has cried out to the Federal and State governments especially to help her locate
her missing mum.
Basorun’s 38-year-old mother, Mrs Gbemisola Basorun, was kidnapped around 8pm on Tuesday, June 23, 2015 at the entrance of her home located at 5, Basorun Abimbola Street, Agodo-Alara via Odogunyan/Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
According to the primary four pupil, the mother of two, who was driving home in her Pathfinder SUV, with number plates KTU 476 CM, was with her children after evening service, when she noticed that four strange men were trailing her on a motorcycle, Vanguard reports.
It was gathered that the missing woman stopped at a neighbour’s shop and revealed her observation only to get an assurance that she was safe with an advice to intimate others about the development when she gets home.
The little girl disclosed that their fears heightened when the bandits drove past them while the discussion was still going on between the mum and the unidentified neighbour.
She also explained that the kidnappers hid somewhere and came out of their hideout when she came out of the car to open the gate for her mum to drive in.
Basorun said, “The okada came out from nowhere, blocked our car and three of them alighted. One of them pointed a gun at my mother and ordered her to the back seat.
“They threw out my younger brother. While two of them sat with my mother, one took over the driver’s seat and both the car and okada sped off.”
In the meantime, it is yet to be ascertained if the police are aware of the case yet.
