Controversy as Kogi community banishes father of abducted five-day-old baby

The father of the five-day-old male child abducted by two gunmen on April 11 at Ijagbe community in Kogi State has been banished from the community.

”Thereafter, they gave me and my wife a 10 -hour ultimatum from 7 a.m to 5 p.m on May 7, to leave the community and warned us not to come back until our abducted baby is found,” he explained. He appealed to the police to speed up their investigation and unravel the mystery behind the baby’s disappearance.

”Even though Mr Ojuola had never engaged in any form of criminality in the community, our consultations revealed that he knew the baby’s whereabouts,” he said. ”The boy in question by his action admitted his involvement in the abduction of his baby, but he did not admit by words or verbally. ” However, if he wants to come back he can return to the community but we will leave him to his conscience.

A lawyer, Joel Usman, said in law the decision of the community leaders amounted to ‘Double Jeopardy’.
