According to reports, Chief David Obadofin, the traditional chief of the Aghara community in Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area, Kogi State, who was abducted on Easter Monday, passed away while still in the hands of his captors.
Chief Obadofin reportedly passed away last Thursday, almost 12 days after being abducted, when he was unable to endure the abuse he was subjected to.
However, Temidayo Elewa, his captor, was freed. On Saturday morning, family members picked up Elewa in Obajana, the cement town in Lokoja LGA, and they immediately brought her to a secret hospital for treatment.
A source involved in the negotiation for their release, who confirmed these said when the abductors noticed that the monarch was becoming too weak, they reduced the ransomed from N60 million to N2 million to release the two victims and started mounting pressure for the payment.
“Meanwhile, they blindfolded Temidayo and separated her to a different location. Unfortunately, the monarch died before ransome could be delivered.”

The source also said that when the kidnappers realised that the advance search group, made up of hunters, vigilantes and some Fulani volunteers were closing on them, the gunmen set Temidayo free, “She roamed the jungle alone from that Thursday to Friday. After many hours she met a sawing machine operator, who eventually led her to freedom.”
“The lady (Temidayo) has been taken to the hospital. She was picked up in a village behind Obajana. As for Baba, we know he is dead but we are still combing the jungle for his remains.
Obadofin, a major Cashew farmer and Temidayo were abducted on Easter Monday from his farm residence in Aghara at about 11pm. The gunmen also shot dead one madam Toyin Onare, a widow, who was in the farm as a labourer.
Toyin was rushed to hospital in Kabba, headquarter of the LGA, about 35 minutes drive away. Unfortunately, she was confirmed dead on arrival.
The late monarch’s chances of survival has been a concern since his abduction as he was said to be on medication for age related diseases aside the trauma and rough treatment he received from the gunmen.
Even after her escape, Wade continued to threaten the actress. He eventually leaked her nude pictures and videos via a WhatsApp group chat in which he added blogs and several people.
