The chairman of the Ekiti State chapter of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Paul Omotoso is dead.
Omotoso passed away in the early hours of Wednesday, March 6. The cause of his death is yet unknown.
The state publicity secretary of the party, Mr Segun Dipe, confirmed the death but did not give further details.
It was learnt that Omotoso had not been in top shape since his abduction in July 2023.
He was abducted along with two others at the Agbado Ekiti axis after gunmen shot at the tyre of his car before dragging them into a waiting Hilux van.
He was rescued some days later through the combined effort of the police and other security outfits.
The police announced that they had also arrested three suspects over the incident.
