PDP Queries Army, Police, DSS Over Kogi Chairman Abduction

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has queried top echelon of the Nigeria  Army, Police and Department of State Services (DSS),demanding for  the whereabouts of Musa Adelabu, who has been abducted by gunmen allegedly dressed in military fatigue.

Musa Adelabu , a stalwart of the party and  the Chairman , Okene Local Government Area of the State.

According to a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja , by its National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan, the party expressed worries that three days after his abductors reportedly dared his family members that they were acting on orders from above, there had been no trace of his whereabouts.

“Moreover, it is completely unacceptable that since the public outcry by our party and members of his family over his violent abduction and despite the demands for his release, the high commands of the military, the police and the DSS have failed to speak out on the matter,” the party added.

The Party lamented that this situation has heightened apprehensions of high-level partisan conspiracy to use some compromised security operatives against the opposition in Kogi state, in a desperate bid to foist the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the failed Governor Yahaya Bello on the people of Kogi state.

The party said already, there is an ominous tension in Kogi state following intelligence reports filtering into the public domain that their LG Chairman is being tortured by his captors in a secret facility where his life is now in great danger.

The PDP further added that such provocative situation is capable of sparking off serious crisis in Kogi state, which location as gateway and convergence state, means a lot of dire consequences for our nation, in the event of any disturbances in the area.

The party declared that it I’m therefore completely unacceptable that the security high command is not forthcoming with concrete statement or decisive action to secure his release despite calls by our party and the people of Kogi state.

The PDP said it therefore calls on President Muhammadu Buhari, as the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces to address his parade and ensure the release of its Kogi PDP leader.
