Ex Ondo House of Assembly and All Progressives Congress governorship aspirant, Victor Olabintan, has been reportedly kidnapped in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
The 58 year-old politician was reportedly kidnapped Sunday night.
According to Gboyega Ajayi, Secretary of the Olabintan Campaign Organization he was kidnapped on his way to Abuja from Akure, the capital of Ondo.
He said the APC chieftain was kidnapped at Kwali after he was flagged down at a military checkpoint by fake soldiers who turned out to be kidnappers.
Until he joined the APC, he was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party and contested the PDP nomination for governorship election in 2012.
Olabintan is also a former commissioner of the Federal Civil Service Commission.
According to Ajayi, police personnel in Abuja are currently on the kidnappers’ trail.
His abduction comes barely 48 hours after he declared his intention to run for the All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship ticket in the state.

With this incident, is it proper to order nigeria military personnels to stop wearing their uniforms or can we tell nigeria police to start using private clothes because armed robbers have been using police uniforms to rob ? The answer is NO, so it is totally wrong to say that the muslim women should stop using HIJAB because Boko Haram members are using hijab to disguise as women. Nigeria government and its security agents have to adopt another ways to identify or combat terrorism

Nemesis, this man was very wicked during his tenure as the commissioner representing those States. He was sitting on people’s appointment letters forwarded to his for authentication. This is a lesson to the likes of this wicked fool. One thing is that Nigerians do not learn from the mistakes of others. It may take a long time, but the wicked will never go unpunished. Mr Olabintan not Hon. Is reaping the fruits of his wickedness. Kidnappers, please deal with that bastard.
