A groom, Zubairu Balogun, who was abducted on his wedding day in Ilorin,
Kwara State, northcentral Nigeria, and held incommunicado for four days
in an unknown location has been reported dead.
He died at a private hospital after he was severely tortured by his abductors.
It was gathered that after the deceased was rescued by a motorcyclist
from the spot his abductors had abandoned him, he was taken to Temitope
Hospital, Ilorin.
A source revealed that when his condition
deteriorated at the hospital, he was taken to an undisclosed private
healing home where he died.
Balogun was kidnapped on the day he
was billed to attend the solemnisation of his wedding to his bride. The
wedding ceremony had commenced the previous evening.
Confusion
had gripped the Balogun Fulani compound where the deceased hailed from
following his disappearance on wedding day, particularly when calls to
his mobile phone were not answered.
While his death was confirmed by Balogun’s younger brother, Kehinde in a
telephone chat , the state Police Command Public Relations Officer,
PPRO, Femi Fabode, said he was yet to be informed about the incident.
