Chairman of Action Congress of Nigeria {ACN} in Abeokuta South Local Government Area of Ogun State, Bisiriyu Semiu Adebare was at the weekend abducted by suspected party thugs.

Sources say the victim was forcefully taken from his private office at Quarry road, Abeokuta by armed men who allegedly demanded for the party’s registration forms and register, which they needed to increase the number of party members in the camp of their suspected sponsor.

After the abduction, the victim was allegedly driven to the home of one of the party leaders where he was said to have being beaten blue and black as part of efforts to collect the register from him.

Relief came his way later after obeying the wish of his abductors, but that was not before his dress was torn to shreds during his captivity.

On regaining his freedom, the victim headed straight to the police station where he lodged a petition to the police authority narrating his ordeal in the hand of his alleged captors, who have since disappeared into thin air as at the time of this report.

The petition, titled, ‘Abduction and Theft,’ was addressed to the Area Commander of Nigeria Police Force, Zone 2 located in Oke-Ilewo area of the town.

Mr Adebare, while narrating the ugly experience said: “I was in my office when these political thugs stormed my place asking for our party local government membership registration. They threatened to kill me if I do not provide it for them.

“I told them the registration register is in the party secretariat and that where they came is my private office, but this explanation did not go down with them. They forced me at gun point into the vehicle they brought and took me away.

“I was abducted, molested and stripped naked and taken away with one car. They said they were looking for membership card in which I told them to go to their various wards to register. I would have been killed if it was not because one of the boys in my office recognized three of them.” He said he had equally informed the state chairman of the party, Tajudeen Bello about the incident.
