It was gathered that Aziegbemi was kidnapped along Idaro Street, off Country Home Road, Benin City, Edo State capital around 11pm on Friday.
Armed men suspected to be kidnappers have abducted the Edo State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Tony Aziegbemi.
He was said to have left a meeting at the Government House and was going home in his vehicle when he was kidnapped in the presence of his driver who was attempting to climb a speed breaker.
According to PUNCH, confirming the incident, the abducted PDP Chairman’s driver said that “When we left the Government House heading home at about 11 pm, I noticed a car trailing us so I decided to take another diversion. We never knew they were kidnappers.
“A few minutes later, the same cars appeared behind us at a speed breaker and blocked our car in the front and also behind as they prevented us from going back. Immediately the gunmen pointed guns at us and ordered our chairman to enter their car and took him away, while also driving his jeep with him.”
