Chief Imam of Uso Muslim community in the Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State, Alhaji Ibrahim Oyinlade, has described the near death torture he suffered when he was recently kidnapped by gunmen.
He was captured while working on his farm, saying the goons flogged the hell out of his life.
In an interview in ‘Satyrday Punch’, he said:
“It was very bad. They tied my hands backward, they also tied my legs. The torture was too much as they flogged the hell out of me. They know almost everything about me. In fact, they know my children and the number of cars that I have. They know where my children are, but I thank God for sparing my life. It has not been easy. I just know that there is no one in life that doesn’t have tribulation. If not that God allowed them, they wouldn’t have had the chance to do all that they did. I believe it was a tribulation from God and God made me to overcome it. I give God all the glory.
“I went to the farm on Saturday morning (June 17, 2023) to fetch some pineapples and as I was about to pack the pineapples into the car, I suddenly saw these two men coming towards me with a gun. They asked me to raise my hands up and I did. Then they asked if I came alone and I told them I was there alone. So, from there, they pushed me back into the farm. That was when I discovered that they slept over in the farm and had been watching me. It was when we went to the farm that I saw their luggage. From the farm, they took me into the bush.”
