The handler of African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has raised the alarm over his alleged abduction by suspected thugs in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital.
The development comes shortly after Sowore took to his Facebook page to announce that he had been attacked by suspected thugs inside a restaurant in the city.
In the Facebook post, the activist disclosed that he was attacked while at the restaurant, raising concerns over his safety and the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Following the attack, his handler raised an alarm, alleging that Sowore had been kidnapped by the suspected thugs.
The reported incident has triggered concerns among his supporters and associates, particularly over his whereabouts following the alleged attack.
Sowore, a former presidential candidate and outspoken political activist, has remained vocal on national issues and has frequently criticised government policies and political developments in the country.
However, details of how the attackers allegedly stormed the restaurant, what led to the confrontation and how Sowore was reportedly taken away have yet to be established.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official confirmation from the police or other security agencies regarding the alleged abduction.
Further details surrounding the incident are still emerging.
