The Ogun State police command has confirmed the release of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Chairman in Lagos State, PHILIP AIVOJ, after spending four days with his kidnappers.
According to a police spokesperson in the state command, OMOLOLA ODUTOLA, the PDP chieftain was freed in the early hours of today, although she could not give details surrounding his release.
Lagos PDP Publicity Secretary, HAKEEM AMODE, however, confirmed that AIVOJI was released around 11pm last night and was taken to his country home in Badagry to reunite with family.
Recall that the Lagos PDP chairman was abducted, alongside some other party officials, by gunmen around Ogere on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Thursday last week.
They were returning from the party’s stakeholders’ zonal caucus meeting convened by the Oyo State Governor, SEYI MAKINDE, in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital.
