A pan Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has joined the long list of Nigerians condemning the abduction of the national founder of Social Democratic Party, Chief Olu Falae.
The group called on the security agencies to as a matter of urgency rescue the victim.
A statement by the spokesperson of Afenifere, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, Monday said the kidnap of Falae, the traditional ruler of Ilu Abo in Ondo State, had added a frightening dimension to the state of insecurity in Nigeria.
Odumakin said, “The kidnap of Chief Falae is coming on the heels of recent abductions of Vanguard columnist, Ms. Donu Kogbara and Toyin, wife of Deputy Managing Director of The Sun Newspapers, Mr Steve Nwosu.
“As kidnappers are invading the South, Boko Haram continues the festival of bloodshed in the North. These are clearly intolerable and the security forces must rise to the occasion by taking concrete steps to combat the mindless lawlessness going on across the country.
“The first responsibility of every responsible government is to secure the lives and property of citizens. We demand the immediate release of Chief Falae and call on the security agencies to track his abductors swiftly.”
