Lagos State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has called on security agencies to expedite actions on the release of its Chairman, Philip Aivoji who was abducted at 6pm on Thursday, January 25, 2024 along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Aivoji was returning from a stakeholders meeting in Oyo State convened by Governors Seyi Makinde and Ademola Adeleke.
A statement issued by the state’s Publicity Secretary of the party, Hon Hakeem Amode, expressed confidence that if the agencies worked together, Aivoji would be liberated as quickly as possible to reunite with his family.
He said: “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 firmly believe that, with increased efforts from security agencies, Aivoji can be rescued from these criminals, and we call on the public to support initiatives aimed at ending this threat to innocent lives.” Amode said
