The challenge of insecurity facing the country is getting to an alarming state. The Kwara state Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Alhaji Ishola Balogun Fulani and the Secretary of the party Chief Bode Adekanye were confirmed kidnapped at gun point along Lokoja/ Okene Road which has become notorious for kidnapping activities on Friday.
The incident according to the Publicity Secretary of the party in the state, Alhaji Sulyman Buhari occurred at about 10am on Friday while returning to Ilorin from Abuja.
“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 necessary steps required and have linked up with relevant security operatives to ensure their safety and eventual release.” As at the time of filing this report, they were still held hostage by the unidentified gunmen.
