The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has raised the alarm over the alleged abduction of two sons of a former senator, Clifford Ordia.
DAILY POST reports that Dr Anthony Aziegbemi, the state caretaker committee chairman of the party made the allegation in a chat with newsmen on Saturday in Benin City.
Aziegbemi also alleged that Ordia, who represented Edo Central in the National Assembly, was attacked and his vehicle vandalized.
He said the two sons were abducted during the attack on their father.
He said the attack took place on Saturday morning as the senator was making preparations for the by-election.
“The report we are hearing now is that Senator Ordia’s vehicle has been attacked and his two sons abducted.
“The election is ongoing but Senator Ordia’s vehicle has just been attacked in Irrua and his two sons abducted.
“That is the latest we are hearing from Irrua, Esan, which is Governor Monday Okpebholo’s local government,” Aziegbemi said.
When contacted, Moses Yamu, the Public Relations Officer of the Edo State Police Command said he was not aware of any attack.
“I am not aware of any attack for now, I will get back to you when I get confirmation,” Yamu said.
