The wife of Mr Ajibola Oyedele, a chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, has been reportedly kidnapped by unknown gunmen

According to reports, the kidnappers have since demanded a ransom of N40million from Oyedele.

Oyedele, popularly called 50-50 by his political fans, revealed on Saturday night that he was able to speak with his wife at about 5:45pm.

She was abducted late Friday at about 8:30pm  at the family home in Omuo Oke, a town in Ekiti East Local Government Area of Ekiti State. The woman did not resist her abductors.

According to Oyedele the kidnappers claimed that he was their actual target.

“At gunpoint, my wife surrendered the key to our Nissan Ultima to the kidnappers and they drove her away to an unknown destination.

“We have not heard anything from her since the incident. All her lines are switched off,” he said in an earlier post on Facebook.

Oyedele who defected to the APC in July this year, was the only PDP  member of the last  Ekiti State House of Assembly.

He was subsequently appointed Special Assistant on Parliamentary Affairs by Governor Ayo Fayose.

But he resigned from the government on May 31, 2016, citing  poor remuneration.
