Ibukun Ademilua
There were strong indications this morning that a former Senator, Ayo Arise has been kidnapped by armed men. Senator Arise is from Oye Ekit and represented Ekiti North in the National Assembly under the banner of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) between 2007 and 2011.
Sources told Irohinoodua this morning that the Senator was kidnapped yesterday night on his way to Abuja. Efforts to reach him by our correspondent proved abortive as all his phone lines were switched off.
Our correspondent learnt that the Senator attended an event in Ado Ekiti on Saturday and later another one at Ikere Ekiti, where the former Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG Tunde Ogunsakin was being conferred with the title of Basorun of Ikere.
Sources said that after leaving the event he attended a Golf Course along Afe Babalola University in Ado-Ekiti Road in the evening of Saturday. He said scheduled to travel to Abuja on Sunday through the Akure airport but chose to go by road.

Father God,please rescue him.

Kidnapping a current serving senator would have gladden my heart.


This is totally a wrong move!


On behalf of the good people of Ekiti state, I urge the kidnappers to kindly release him unconditionally and unhurt.


Thanks!
