FORMER Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Chief Olu Falae yesterday revisited his recent abduction by gunmen and said his ordeal remains a blessing until the Yoruba are liberated from Fulani herdsmen’s attacks.
He told a delegation of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), led by Otunba Gani Adams, at his Akure residence that contrary to claims by the Department of State Services (DSS) that the abductors were mere criminals looking for money, they were determined to kill him.
“They were not after money alone; they wanted to eliminate me by shooting my car, thinking I was inside the car,” he said.
He added, “They later walked into my office with their sharp knives and cutlasses and started attacking me before taking me into the bush. We trekked from Akure to Owo, following bush paths and swampy areas on my bare legs till we got to an area close to Ifon in Ose local government.”
