The Ogun State police command has officially announced the liberation of Philip Aivoj, the Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, after spending four days in the custody of his kidnappers.
Omolola Odutola, a spokesperson for the police in the state, confirmed Aivoj’s release in the early hours of Monday. However, she did not provide specific details regarding the circumstances surrounding his release.
The abduction of the Lagos PDP chairman occurred last Thursday when he, along with other party officials, was seized by gunmen around Ogere on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The incident took place as they were returning from a party stakeholders’ zonal caucus meeting convened by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde in Ibadan.
An attempted rescue operation on Friday resulted in the tragic death of one of the kidnap victims, 37-year-old Bilikisu Kazeem, during a gun battle with the abductors.
