Gunmen Attacks Popular Church, Abducts Several Worshippers

The lifeless body of a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ondo State, Olamide Odimayo, who was kidnapped last week, has been found floating on the coastal waters of Ese-Odo.

The Ondo Police while confirming the incident on Monday, said the search for the abducted politician had continued since June 15, with the arrest of eight suspects.

The command’s Public Relations Officer, Femi Joseph, told said that the body of the victim was found just when it appeared that his rescue was near following the arrest of suspected members of the kidnap gang.

Mr. Odimayo was reportedly kidnapped by the gunmen on Thursday at his home in Igbotu town in Ese Odo Local Government Area of the state.

Mr. Joseph said the suspects had led the police to the hideout, but only the lifeless body was found floating at Ogolo River, between Sabomi and Igbotu towns in Ese-Odo.

“We have been searching since on the 15 and we arrested some suspects in connection with the kidnap,” he said.

“One of the suspects who took our men to the hideout claimed he was the one who took the victim to the hideout.

“He said during the course of transporting him to the place, the victim fell into the water and perhaps because he could not swim, died.”

There were however reports from Igbotu town that youth in the area chased the kidnappers on the day they abducted Mr. Odumayo, caught one of them and killed him.

Sources said the kidnappers might have killed their victim in retaliation for the death of their member.

Meanwhile, the APC in Ondo has condemned the killing, saying kidnappers should now be made to pay the supreme price for their acts.

The spokesperson for the party, Anayomi Adesanya, said the death of Mr. Odimayo was saddening, having left his diaspora abode in the UK to come home to be part of the development of the country.

“He was a party stalwart and dedicated party man who was concerned about the development of the country,” he said.

“I think it is time we have laws against kidnapping in the state stipulating capital punishment for the act.

“We cannot continue to allow this to go on, kidnappers should pay the supreme price for their actions.”

Mr. Odimayo was the candidate of the APC for the last Ondo House of Assembly elections for the Ese-Odo State constituency, an election he lost to the PDP.

*Please be careful, there’s a WhatsApp scam going around

Scammers are currently impersonating Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, the Chairman of Access Holdings Plc, to trick people into fake investment schemes.

They’ve created a WhatsApp group called *“Value Focus Club 60”* using this number: *+234 915 708 8290*, and even used his picture to make it look real.

*Important things to know*:
• The Chairman is NOT on WhatsApp running any investment group
• Access Holdings does NOT offer investment advice via WhatsApp
• Any message claiming otherwise is 100% fake

A whistleblower actually spotted this and raised the alarm, so please don’t ignore this.

*What you should do*:
• Don’t join the group or engage them
• Don’t share your personal or banking details
• Block and report the number on WhatsApp
• Let others know so they don’t fall victim

The company is already working to shut it down, but awareness is key.

Please share this with your contacts, someone you know could be targeted.
