O., National Head of Research and Deputy Southwest Coordinator of the Coalition for Peter Obi (CPO), alongside colleagues, narrowly escaped a deadly kidnapping attack along the Kabba–Abuja highway.

Only a blind elderly woman, another aged woman, and one man who cleverly hid himself managed to escape. Our own bus, which followed closely behind, came under threat. In fear for our lives, we ran into the bush and hid until the kidnappers left the scene with their victims. We later re-emerged and met with local vigilantes, members of the Nigerian Army, and other securit...
