Sixteen days after his wife (Adedoyin), his daughter and chauffeur were abducted by a gang of daredevil kidnappers on the Benin-Ore Expressway while going for a wedding ceremony, justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Olabode Rhodes-Vivour, yesterday said he had no information yet on their whereabouts.
Sahara Reporters had posted on its website on Saturday that the family of the Supreme Court judge had been released to him.
But the Supreme Court judge, who spoke with National Mirror last night said people had been ringing him to congratulate him but that he was yet to either see them or hear from them.
“As I speak with you, I have not seen my wife, daughter and driver.
“I don’t know where they got their information; I have not been contacted,” he said.
Though traumatised, he was however hopeful that his agony would soon be over.
The jurist was thrown into similar trauma a couple of weeks ago by another gang of abductors.
About two weeks ago, the rumour mill also had it that Justice Rhodes- Vivour’s family had been released, National Mirror had gone to his Maitama official residence located off Oguta Lake Street, behind the Chancery of the Botswana High Commission to confirmthe rumour, but the place was deserted.
The gateman who came out to attend to the enquiries of this reporter said that the jurist left Abuja on Sunday, May 12, after it dawned on him that the abductors were not ready to release his family immediately.
