“It is disheartening that kidnapping has become a prevalent issue in our country, and the government’s inability to address this menace is deeply concerning.

“The abduction of Aivoji underscores the pressing need for decisive actions from the government and stakeholders to eradicate this menace

“Aivoji’s abduction was a violent incident, and his current whereabouts or any communication from the abductors remain unknown

“We implore the governments of Oyo, Ogun, and Lagos states, alongside security agencies, to expedite efforts and secure his safe return to his family and well-wishers.”

The PDP spokesperson expressed confidence that heightened efforts from security agencies would lead to the rescue of Aivoji from the abductors.

“We call on the public to support initiatives aimed at ending this threat to innocent lives,” he said
