Journalist petitions Oyo CP over attempted trafficking of son

 

AN Ibadan-based media practioner, Mr Nurudeen Alimi, has written a letter to the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Joe Nwachukwu Enwowu, seeking the reopening of the suspended investigation into an alleged trafficking of his son (name withheld).

Alimi, in the letter submitted at the office of the Commissioner of Police on Friday, alleged that sometime in October, 2017, he got a hint that his estranged wife, Mrs Kehinde Alimi (now known as Ms Kehinde Yusuff), visited the Nigerian Immigration Service, Oyo State Command, with his son to procure an international passport with Number A08706119 for him, using another surname with the intent to take him out of the country without his consent.

“I was reliably informed by the officers of the Nigerian Immigration Service, after thorough investigation, that Ms Yusuff had surreptitiously obtained a new birth certificate with different surname for my son and presented same for the process of procuring the said international passport.

“She connived with one Mr Victor Adaramoye to change my son’s surname on the data page of the international passport. They actually changed the name to bear Adaramoye as surname against his original surname, Alimi.

“Ms Yusuff presented Mr Victor Adaramoye as the father of my son as his name appeared on the Application Form and a Consent Letter as required by law in the process of applying for international passport for minors, was written by Mr Victor Adaramoye, claiming to be the father of my son, who was just four years old at that time.

“I am confused and baffled by this callous act of my ex-wife who, at that time, took my son from my lawful custody with the sole aim of trafficking him to a particular destination known to him and Mr Victor Adaramoye,” he wrote.

Alimi also said he is seeking for the reopening of the matter because the terms with which the case, which is under investigation at the Anti-Kidnapping Squad, Oyo State Police Command, Eleyele, Ibadan, was suspended has been allegedly disregarded by Ms Kehinde Yusuff.

He said this simply suggested that she and her cohort, Mr Victor Adaramoye, still have the intention of taking his son away, as the young boy is still in the custody of Ms Kehinde Yusuff, who is presently living with another man and already had a child for him.

“It is therefore on this note, that I urge you to use your good office to direct the reopening of investigation into the above complaints and bring both Ms Kehinde Yusuff and her cohort, Mr Victor Adaramoye, to book in the interest of justice and to further prevent the trafficking of my son, to an unknown destination,” he concluded.
