BREAKING: Kidnap News Affecting Ned Nwoko Emerge
Senator Ned Nwoko expressed concern on Wednesday, November 22, over the prolonged detention of his Senior Legislative Aide (SLA), who was kidnapped along with 18 others in the Galadinmawa area of Abuja.
The situation has become more critical with reports suggesting that 12 out of the 19 victims have allegedly been murdered by their abductors, according to a statement from Nwoko’s media office.
The statement reads: “It is with profound concern and heavy hearts that we address the recent kidnapping incident in Galadimawa, Abuja, involving multiple individuals, including the Senator’s esteemed Senior Legislative Aide, Barrister Chris Agidy.
“Approximately two weeks ago, a distressing incident unfolded where 19 individuals were forcefully taken from their homes in the Galadimawa area of Abuja. Upon receiving this distressing news, immediate measures were taken by Senator Ned Munir Nwoko whose SLA was unfortunately among them. He contacted the Commissioner of Police who swiftly activated the OC Anti-Kidnapping team to secure the release of those abducted.
“Regrettably, we have received distressing updates from reliable police sources confirming that out of the 19 individuals abducted, 12 have been killed while seven remain in the custody of the kidnappers. Efforts to ascertain the well-being and status of our staff, Barrister Chris, among the 7 individuals still held, are ongoing.
“From the onset, the Senator has maintained close coordination with the security operatives who have been diligently working on this matter. However, the challenges persist as contacting the kidnappers for negotiation has proven immensely difficult. Their lines remain inactive, hindering direct communication and negotiation efforts.
He further stated: “According to the security operatives, efforts are still focused on securing the remaining individuals held captive from the forested area approximately 100 km away, despite the daunting challenges faced in reaching the kidnappers.
“As we await further updates from the authorities, we remain resolute in our pursuit of a swift and safe resolution to this distressing situation.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the affected families, especially Barrister Chris’s, with whom we are in close contact during this challenging period.”
