A senior official of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Secretariat in Abuja, Dr. Adekunle Raif Adeniji, has been abducted by unknown gunmen.
Dr. Adeniji, who holds the position of Director of Administration at the party’s headquarters, was kidnapped two weeks ago in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Sources confirmed to SaharaReporters that his abductors have contacted his family, demanding a ransom of ₦350 million for his release. However, both the APC National Secretariat and security agencies have remained silent on the matter, with no official statement issued.
Dr. Adeniji was appointed as the party’s Director of Administration in August 2024, following the resignation of his predecessor, Prof. Alaba Adediwura. His appointment was formally announced in a letter signed by the APC National Secretary.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, retired Brigadier-General Maharazu Tsiga, a former Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), was also abducted recently.
Armed men reportedly stormed his residence in Katsina State last Wednesday night, taking him away. His kidnappers have since demanded a ransom of ₦250 million for his release.
