Ilorin – Abductors of the Chairman of the APC in Kwara, Hon.
Ishola Balogun-Fulani and Secretary, Chief Bode Adekanye, have demanded for N50
million ransom.
It was learnt that the kidnappers made the demand on Friday
night after they had allowed the APC chiefs to speak with their family members.
Balogun- Fulani and Adekanye were kidnapped on Friday night while returning to
Ilorin from Abuja.
A close aide of Adekanye, who craved anonymity, said on
Saturday that family members of the kidnapped APC chieftains offered to pay the
abductors N10 million which they accepted.
Meanwhile, Gov Abdulfatah Ahmed has
described the abduction of the party chiefs as “ atrocious, despicable and
unfortunate.
” Ahmed said this on Saturday in a statement issued by his Chief
Press Secretary, Abdulwahab Oba.
He said government was ready to render the
required assistance to security agencies in ensuring that both men regained
their freedom.
The governor urged anybody with useful information that could
help secure the release of the two men to contact the security agencies.
Ahmed
also assured the people of the state that government would do everything
possible to guarantee the safety of lives and properties. (NAN)
