Gunmen Kidnap Biz-woman, Kill Driver

A renowned entrepreneur, Mrs Olayinka Obaleye, the Managing Director of Yinka Oba Foam in Ilo, Osun, has been reportedly adducted by suspected kidnappers who killed her driver.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Obaleye’s business premises were deserted yesterday as the whole complex was under lock and key.
A source, however, told NAN that the incident happened in front of the foam factory at Ilo, Obokun Local Government Area of Osun, adding that the assailants killed Obaleye’s driver during the attack.
The source, who pleaded anonymity, said that Obaleye and her workers had already finished the work for the day, adding that they were about to leave the factory’s premises when the assailants struck.
The source added that the suspected kidnappers, who were armed with guns, waylaid the business tycoon, grabbed her and whisked her away to an unknown destination.
However, Mr Abubakar Saliu, a security man at the factory, who spoke to NAN, said when Obaleye wanted to go home, another security man went to open the gate for her.
