Aide to Edo Deputy Governor kidnapped in Benin

The Chief Press Secretary to Edo Deputy Governor, Kelly Odaro was kidnapped in front of his residence around 9 p.m. on Saturday.

The deputy governor, Dr. Pius Odubo heard of the development from journalists who called to intimate him of his aide’s abduction. When contacted, the Public Relations Officer, Edo State Police Command, Anthony Airhuowo, denied any knowledge of Odaro’s abduction.

 He said, “I’m not aware yet, let me make some calls, and I will get back to you.” Our correspondent reports that Odaro’s wife, Patience confirmed the abduction of her husband.

Odaro was kidnapped at the entrance of his Ikpoba Hill residence close to the Agbo Park in Benin.

This development came barely five months after a Principal Secretary to Governor Adams Oshiomhole, Olaitan Oyerinde was murdered by gunmen.
