A high-ranking director at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Secretariat in Abuja, Dr. Adekunle Raif Adeniji, has been abducted by gunmen.
Dr. Adeniji, the Director of Administration at the APC National Secretariat, was reportedly kidnapped two weeks ago in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
According to sources, the abductors have contacted Dr. Adeniji’s family, demanding a ransom of N350 million for his release.

Neither the APC National Secretariat nor security operatives have officially commented on the incident, but sources privy to the incident have confirmed that the director is being held captive.
Dr. Adekunle was appointed Director of Administration in the APC National Secretariat in August 2024.
The appointment was announced in the letter issued by the party’s National Secretary.
Dr Adeniji’s appointment was sequel to the resignation of the former Director of Administration, Prof Alaba Adediwura.
Platinumpost had also reported how the kidnappers of retired Brigadier-General Maharazu Tsiga, a former Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), demanded a ransom of N250million for his release.
General Tsiga was abducted last Wednesday night when scores of armed men stormed his residence in Katsina State.
