Posted by 9jabook.com on November 7, 2009 at 2:26am
•We are happy, but sober, says family Anambra state Police Command yesterday said some people had been arrested in connection with the kidnap of Pa Simeon Soludo, the 78-year-old father of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the February 6, 2010 governorship elections in Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, who was released Wednesday night by those who abducted him from his family house about 10 days ago. advertisement But a deputy Commissioner of Police in the Command, Mr. Oshodi Glover, told journalists at the Soludo family house in Isuofia that the command was still working on the matter and would like to be discreet about it at the moment. “Please, don't let me reveal anything yet. There will be time for that and not now,” he said. Oshodi, who was accompanied by Mr. Chris Ezike, an Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of the Inspector General of Police's monitoring team, however denied knowledge of any ransom paid. This came as the Soludo family expressed gratitude to God for the release of their patriarch, saying they were happy but sober. They also took a swipe at the insinuation that they masterminded the kidnap adding that anybody peddling such is cursed. Meanwhile, the Soludo Campaign Organisation, yesterday evening in a statement signed by Dom Obiekie ,said it was relieved to receive information that Pa Soludo had been released and thanked Anambra people for their concerns while the man was held in captivity for 10 days. The statement read in part: “the Soludo Campaign Organisation was relieved and delighted to receive information from the Divisional Police Officer in Aguata local government area, Mr. Samuel Dang, who announced that the 78 year old Pa Simeon Soludo, has been released by the kidnappers who have kept him in captivity for 10 days. “According to the police, he was released around 10pm on Wednesday, November 4, 2009 along the Uga Road in Aguata. Pa Soludo, father of the PDP governorship candidate for the Anambra State 2010 election Professor Chukwuma Soludo is now undergoing medical examination to ascertain his health condition following the physical, psychological and emotional trauma which he experienced in the course of the unfortunate incident. “After his medical examination and treatment, the Soludo family would have a quiet reunion with their patriarch. There would be no formal briefings. “Meanwhile, we acknowledge with thanks, the concerns shown by individuals and groups, including friends, well-wishers, associates and the media during this trying moments.”
