A political associate of the victim, Tolu Babaleye, who confirmed the incident, said that “the kidnappers laid an ambush for him in his house.”

Meanwhile, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), CSP Femi Joseph, said that investigation had begun, adding that police detectives had been mobilised towards rescuing the victim.
