The Ward 5 Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ose Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nelson Adepoyigi, who was kidnapped a few days ago, has been killed by his abductors.<\/p>\n

Adepoyidi was kidnapped last Monday while parking his vehicle at his residence in Ifon.<\/p>\n

Following the kidnapping of the APC chairman, the abductors had demanded a N100 million ransom, but after a series of negotiations and pleas, it was reduced to N5 million.<\/p>\n

Adepoyigi was killed after two persons from his community in Ifon volunteered to deliver the N5 million ransom, but they were also captured by the kidnappers who insisted that an additional N30 million ransom be paid before the release of the trio.<\/p>\n

However, the two volunteers were released by the kidnappers, with sources within the community disclosing that the kidnappers confirmed that the APC chairman had been marked to be killed by those purportedly behind his abduction.<\/p>\n

While confirming the development, the Chairman of Ose Local Government, Kolapo Ojo, lamented that security challenges in the area are now in a critical situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis pattern of brazen abductions, even at the very gates of people\u2019s homes, confirms that insecurity has taken a dangerous and intolerable dimension.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge our people to remain vigilant, promptly report suspicious activities to the nearest security post, and stand united as we work together to overcome this threat,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
