reportedly took ex-Miss Nigeria in their car from
Lagos to Abeokuta.

rode in a Honda Shuttle car with number plate
LAGOS, KA 35 EKY were said to have ordered the
former beauty queen to enter their car from Lagos
to Abeokuta to retrieve her car gift, Hyundai with
number plate LAGOS GGE 354 AJ where she
parked it.

from the Arcade ground of the Ogun State
secretariat complex in Oke Mosan, Abeokuta,
however, met stiff resistance as the mother of the

people to the scene.

when security operatives attached to the office of

Officer, PPRO, Muyiwa Adejobi, consequently
arrested the suspects and took them to the Ibara
Police Divisional headquarters in Abeokuta.

former Miss Nigeria, said the people had been
chasing her round the place, asking her to
surrender the car gift she got from the Akwa Ibom
State government.

programme made many promises that they didn’t
keep and now they want to collect the car given
to me by Akwa Ibom State government.
“They want to collect this gift from me because
Ogun State government has given me another car
so I must surrender the one given to me by the
Akwa Ibom State governmet.”
Feyi further told newsmen that there was no part
of the contract she signed with the organisers that
they will retrieve the car from her, stressing that
the Hyundai car was registered in her name.

that she decided to raise alarm so that the
suspects who had coerced her daughter to take
them to where she was keeping the car would not
harm her.

detained at Ibara police station for onwards
transfer to the command’s headquarters in
Eleweran.
