The decomposing body of a nursing mother, Kehinde Jibril, recently abducted by suspected kidnappers at Ago-Oja town in Asa Local Government Area of Kwara State, has been discovered.
The corpse was reportedly found on Thursday along Ojoku Road in Ago-Oja axis after frantic efforts to locate and rescue her from her abductors.
Kehinde had since been buried according to Islamic rite at Ago- Oja.
It was learnt that the family of the deceased had made part payment of the ransom demanded by the kidnappers.
The traditional chief of Ago-Oja, Baale Daudu Arolu confirmed the discovery of the corpse and burial of Kehinde to newsmen in a telephone interview.
Sources close to the family of the deceased disclosed that latest part payment of N6 million demanded by the kidnappers was allegedly delivered before the discovery of the nursing mother’s corpse.
Last Friday, the kidnappers had reportedly directed the family of the deceased to bring the ransom for her release to Eiyekonrin town and later to Ogbomoso in Oyo State. But they could not be located.
Kehinde was abducted two days to the Eid-al-Fitr celebrations at her husband’s residence in Ago-Oja .
The kidnappers initially targeted her husband, said to be a cattle dealer, but abducted the wife because the husband was not at home when the criminals came calling.
Another victim abducted alongside Kehinde on the same day in the town, Oriyomi Babatunde was also injured during the abduction and later died in the hospital.
