Ogun police trailing Lagos PDP chairman’s abductors: CP
The police command in Ogun State has said it is on the trail of abductors of the Lagos State chapter chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Philip Aivoji, abducted on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
The state’s Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, said this while speaking with journalists in Abeokuta on Friday
Mr Aivoji was abducted by yet-to-be-identified persons on Thursday evening.
He was abducted at the Ogere axis of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, alongside nine other party members who were with him.
They were said to be returning from the party’s stakeholders’ zonal caucus meeting held in Ibadan when they were abducted.
Mr Alamutu assured that the police would catch up with the abductors of the party chieftain.
He said that the police engaged the gunmen in a gun duel, which forced the abductors to release nine of the abducted while the PDP chairman was taken away.
“It is true; they were kidnapped on Thursday evening at Ogere on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway. Our men engaged them and in the process, nine of the victims were released but the PDP chairman was taken away,” he said.
