The abductors of Adekunle Adeniji, a national director of the All Progressives Congress (APC), have contacted his family, demanding a ransom of N350 million for his release.
Adeniji was kidnapped alongside his wife, son, and brother by armed assailants wielding AK-47 rifles in the Chikakore area of Kubwa, Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The kidnappers have made it clear that he will not be freed until the full ransom is paid.
Sources revealed that Adeniji was visiting his brother’s residence when the attackers struck.
Tragically, his brother’s wife, Esther, was killed by the gunmen, and her body was later found in a community in Niger State.
The incident has heightened concerns over the growing wave of insecurity in the nation’s capital, with calls for urgent intervention by security agencies.
