Kwara Monarch Rafiu Salami Still in Kidnappers’ Custody Five Days After Abduction, Community Confirms The Oba of Bayagan-Ile, Alhaji Rafiu Salami, remains in the custody of his abductors five days after he was kidnapped on his farm in Ifelodun LGA, Kwara State. Community spokesperson Alhaji Rafiu Ayinla confirmed he spoke with the monarch on Tuesday, with the ruler stating he has been held at the same location since the incident. Ayinla dismissed widespread rumours that local hunters had rescued the monarch, calling such claims false and misleading. He added that aside from sympathy visits by a councillor and neighbouring traditional rulers, no government or police officials have formally visited the community. The royal family urged the public and media to verify information directly from them to curb misinformation as efforts continue toward the monarch’s safe release. #Kwaramonarchkidnapped #ObaRafiuSalamiabduction
