One of the leaders of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, Owere Dickson Imasogie, has been kidnapped.
Imasogie, who is the leader of the party in the Edo South Senatorial District, was said to have been kidnapped alongside his driver at about 7.00 am on Monday.
A family source disclosed that Imasogie “was kidnapped in his farm around Obada area in Uhunmwonde local government area. He was with his driver when the incident happened”.
While the Edo State Police Command was yet to confirm the incident as at the time of filing this report, a Benin socio-cultural group, Edo State Decide Movement, in a statement issued later on Monday, called on Governor Godwin Obaseki to rescue the old man.
“We are just informed that our daddy, mentor and a renowned philanthropist whose philanthropic gesture is indeed exceptional, in the person of Sir Chief Dickson Imasogie (EDO SOUTH PDP LEADER) and others have just been kidnapped on their way to the farm this morning along Benin Agbor road.
“As a matter of urgency, we call on the state government GODWIN OBASEKI to take a drastic action as to rescue the father to all and others from the hands of the hoodlums or kidnappers who are enemies of progress in our dear state,” the statement read.
