Wale Oriade, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State, has been abducted by armed men in Ibadan, the state capital.
The incident occurred at his office located at PJ Square Shopping Complex, beside the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited station, Elewure, along Iyana Ajanla, Akala Expressway, New Garage, Ibadan.
The attackers, who arrived in a blue Micra vehicle, forcibly seized Oriade and whisked him away.
The Oyo State chapter of the APC has confirmed the incident and called for the immediate intervention of the Nigeria Police Force to rescue Oriade.
Former Senate Leader Teslim Folarin has condemned the kidnapping, describing it as shocking and unacceptable, and urged security agencies to intensify efforts to ensure Oriade’s safe rescue.
