The Chairman of the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mr. Philip Aivoji, who was abducted by yet-to-be-identified gunmen along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, on Thursday regained his freedom. The Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Alhaji Hakeem Amode, while confirming the development to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday said Aivoji was released after spending four days with his abductors.
"We use this opportunity to appreciate your prayers most importantly because God's mercy was visible all the way.
"Thank you all for your concerns and prayers."
Aivoji and some other party chieftains were abducted at the Ogere area of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Thursday while returning from the party's Stakeholders' Zonal Caucus meeting convened by Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde and held in Ibadan, the state capital.
Meanwhile, it has not been revealed whether ransom was paid before Aivoji was freed by his abductors.
