Gunmen reportedly abduct APC Ekiti Chairman.
Details of the incident is still sketchy
Although the detail of the incident is still sketchy, it was gathered that the APC chairman was kidnapped on Saturday evening along the Agbado-Imesi-Ekiti road in the Gbonyin LGA of the State.
A reliable source who confirmed the development to a national daily explained that Omotosho, who is from Imesi-Ekiti, was driving alone to his home town when the gunmen ambushed his vehicle with sporadic gunshots before taking him away.
The source said, “The chairman still called me this morning (Saturday), and we spoke at length, and from what we gathered, he actually came to drop his driver in Ado-Ekiti and was returning to his hometown alone when the kidnappers fired gunshots at his vehicle and deflated his tyres.
“They moved him from the scene, which is around Agbado – Imesi-Ekiti road with their vehicle to a forest around Ise-Ekiti; that is what I know about the incident for now.
“The governor, Biodun Oyebanji, is aware of the situation and has taken immediate action towards securing the release of the party chairman.”
The state APC publicity secretary, Segun Dipe, confirmed the abduction of the party chairman when contacted on Saturday evening.
“Yes, my brother, our chairman has been kidnapped, and we are already working with security agencies towards securing his release,” the party spokesperson told a national daily.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) DSP Sunday Abutu, when contacted, said he was not aware of the incident and promised to get back to the newsmen but has yet to do so as of press time.
