The Chairman and the Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in
Kwara state, Ishola Balogun Fulani and Chief Bode Adekanye respectively
have been kidnapped at gun point along Lokoja Okene road in Kogi state
today May 20th. According to the publicity secretary of the party in the
state, Sulyman Buhari, the politicians were kidnapped at about 10am.
“We received a call from the line of the chairman around this time,
(10am) telling us of the kidnapping issue. No ransom was mentioned and
all attempts to make further enquiries from them proved abortive as the
line was no longer available”. “We are on it to see if we can still
establish a link with them. We have taken all the necessary steps and
linked up with relevant security operatives to ensure their safety and
eventual release,” he said.
