An Osun State High Court sitting in Iwo has sentenced five men, who kidnapped the wife of the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Alhaja Muobat Salaam, to 27 years in prison.
Justice Moshood Adeigbe, while delivering the judgment, held that the prosecutors had proved his case beyond reasonable doubt that the kidnappers met and conspired before they executed their plans.
The five persons convicted by the court are Chukwudi Okereke (40), Ogbole Ochijile Elijah (25), Lucky Okonkwo (33), Kaikine Mahah (35) and Philip Nwadinnor (30).
The Speaker’s wife was kidnapped in Ejigbo, Osun State, on October 9, 2012, on her way from work.
