On The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, PDP Chair Philip Aivoji Was Kidnapped.

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

According to information obtained by Vanguard, Aivoji was kidnapped on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on his way back from an Oyo state stakeholders’ meeting that Governors Seyi Makinde and Ademola Adeleke had called.

The State PDP Publicity Secretary, Hon. Hakeem Amode confirmed his abduction on Friday.

In a statement, Amode called upon security agencies and government authorities at all levels to intervene promptly and secure the release of its 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 strongly believe that Aivoji can be freed from these criminals with more efforts from security agencies, and we urge the public to support initiatives aimed at putting an end to this threat to innocent lives.”
