IBADAN — More than two weeks after the abduction of Mrs. Rachael Alamu, principal of Community High School, Ahoro-Esinle in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, her husband, Professor Wole Alamu, says the kidnappers are refusing to negotiate with the family and insist on dealing directly with the government.

Professor Alamu, a lecturer in the Department of Forest Resources Management at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH, Iseyin Campus, disclosed this in an interview with Vanguard.

According to him, the kidnappers have been communicating through WhatsApp messages but have refused to engage family members in any form of negotiation.
