An aide to Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, Shakirulahi Babatunde, has allegedly kidnapped himself with the aim of extorting the state government. The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the Adeleke government of desperation to implicate the APC and heat up the polity with the fake kidnap. The APC warned that the Nigeria Police Force should resist any attempt by the state government to bury the case. The spokesperson to the governor, Olawale Rasheed, said the state police command is already investigating the incident and debunked reports that top officials in the Adeleke-led administration were working underground to pressure the police into dropping the matter.
