LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHAIRMAN KIDNAPPED IN LAGOS!

Kidnappers have abducted Ejigbo Local Council Development Area Chairman, Kehinde Bamigbetan on his way home on Monday night.

According to The Nation Newspapers:

Narrating the incident to The Nation Correspondent, an official who craved anonymity said the gunmen had waited for the chairman within the precinct of his Ona Iwa Mimo Street, Ori-Oke, Egbe Bridge house and had opened fire on sighting  him. The incident occurred around 11pm and 12 midnight.

The official who claimed he had spoken with the driver said: “Upon realising the danger, the chairman’s driver had turned the car, and tried to escape while the men came on a hot chase shooting at the vehicle.

“In the confusion, the chairman’s car hit an electric pole and the driver jumped out and escaped. The gunmen closed up on the car, brought out the chairman and bundled him into their car before making good their escape,” he added.

The official said the management had made an official report to the state governor Babatunde Fashola, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, the Commissioner of Police and other party leaders on the development.

Meanwhile workers in the council were seen discussing the development and everywhere had an eerie air of silence when our correspondent visited the council secretariat.
