Benedict Akika, a renowned Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State and close ally of Governor Seyi Makinde, has been released from captivity.
Mr. Akika, founder of the Omituntun Benedict Foundation, was abducted from his Ibadan residence in the state capital. Gunmen had stormed his Olorunda residence six days ago, whisking him away to an unknown destination.
After spending six agonizing days in his abductors’ den, Mr. Akika has regained his freedom. Although details surrounding the circumstances of his release, including whether a ransom was paid, remain unclear at this time.
Following his release, Mr. Akika has been taken to a medical facility for thorough examination and necessary medical attention.
