The State Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Segun Dipe, said on Saturday, ”Our chairman has been kidnapped, this evening, and we are already working with security agencies towards securing his release.”

Omotosho was grabbed and taken away from the Agbado-Imesi-Ekiti road in Gbonyin Local Government Area of the state, Saturday evening.

Omotosho, an indigene of Imesi-Ekiti, it was gathered, was on his way to his hometown when the armed kidnappers struck and whisked him away.

Worried residents of the state are bemoaning the recurring incidence of such violent crimes in the south-western flank of the country.
