According to the mother of Oluwatosin, Tokunbo Bakre, on Wednesday, that the abduction came after Tosin had intervened in a human rights violation case involving a lady and a pastor.
Bakre told Punch in a telephone
conversation on Wednesday that the said lady had accused the pastor of
allegedly impregnating her and forcing her to carry out abortion several times
and she had refused the last attempt to coerce her into it.
The lady was said to have been delivered of
a baby which she claimed the pastor was responsible for but the pastor
reportedly denied responsibility.
Bakre narrated further that Tosin had
published the alleged dispute between the lady and the said pastor and made
efforts to get the pastor to react to the issue.
She noted that she was informed that his son
was abducted after some men swooped on him while he was in a telephone
conversation with his wife and took him to an unknown destination.
Bakre said, “My son had intervened in an
issue involving a lady and one pastor who also claimed to be a doctor. The lady
said the pastor impregnated her several times and forced her to have abortions.
She said she refused to abort the last pregnancy she had with the pastor which
had created issues between her and him.
“My son published the incident on his
platform. To my surprise, I was informed that some persons had kidnapped
my son while he was on a telephone conversation with his wife and I suspect his
abduction was because of the issue of the lady that he intervened in.”
She added that the incident had thrown the
family into a panic mood as several efforts made to locate his whereabouts had
proved abortive as his mobile phone remained unreachable since his abduction.
“We have made several efforts to locate his
whereabouts but he could not be reached. This has caused tension in the family
because we don’t know the condition he is in at the moment and what the
abductors could do to him.
“I am appealing to the authorities to help
me locate and rescue my son,” Bakre said.
Efforts to get the reaction of the Ogun
State Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, proved abortive as
calls and messages sent to her line were not delivered as of the time of filing
this report.
However, a senior police officer privy to
the incident but not authorised to speak with the media confirmed the abduction
to our correspondent in a telephone conversation on Wednesday.
“Yes, I am aware of the incident. It was
reported to the police but I cannot speak further on it,” the police officer
said.
