Edo PDP Chairman, Tony Aziegbemi
The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, Dr Tony Aziegbemi, has regained freedom.
It was gathered that Aziegbemi was released by his abductors at about 3 a.m. on Tuesday, March 16, 2024, after 11 days in captivity.
The Edo PDP chairman was abducted in Benin, the state capital, on March 15.
Confirming the development, Clem Aziegbemi, on behalf of the family, said the PDP chairman was released unhurt.
He said: “As a member of the Aziegbemi family, we say thank you all for your great show of love and solidarity with us all through the period of the adoption of our beloved son, brother, cousin, and leader, Dr Tony Aziegbemi.

Aziegbemi was ambushed at the Bishop Edokpolor Boulevard Junction in Benin while returning from the Government House after a meeting with Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki.
His abduction came less than a month after his party conducted a primary election for the September 21 governorship election in Edo State.
The Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, said an official statement would soon be issued on the development.
