Just In : PDP Chair, Philip Aivoji Kidnapped On Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

The head of the Lagos chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Philip Aivoji, has been kidnapped.

Reports indicate that Aivoji was taken on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway after attending a stakeholders’ gathering in Oyo state hosted by Governors Seyi Makinde and Ademola Adeleke.

The PDP Publicity Secretary in the state, Hon. Hakeem Amode, confirmed the abduction on Friday and urged security agencies and government authorities at all levels to act swiftly in ensuring the release of the party’s chairman.

Amode stated, “It is disheartening that kidnapping has become a prevalent issue in our country, and the government’s inability to address this menace is deeply concerning.

“The abduction of Aivoji underscores the pressing need for decisive actions from the government and stakeholders to eradicate this menace. Aivoji’s abduction was a violent incident, and his current whereabouts or any communication from the abductors remain unknown.

“We implore the governments of Oyo, Ogun, and Lagos States, alongside security agencies, to expedite efforts and secure his safe return to his family and well-wishers.

“We firmly believe that, with increased efforts from security agencies, Aivoji can be rescued from these criminals, and we call on the public to support initiatives aimed at ending this threat to innocent lives.”
