Abducted Lagos councillorship candidate’s daughter found unconscious

Bukola, daughter of Mr Bode Adeosun, All Progressives Congress (APC) councillorship candidate in Ward C1B of Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of Lagos, has regained freedom, three days after she was kidnapped by unknown gunmen.

The 19-year-old, who was kidnapped on Tuesday evening, was dumped by her abductors around 12:30am Friday morning in Damegoro Street in Mushin.

She is said to be unconscious after her release. The Nation learnt that she was found blindfolded, with her hands and legs tied  by rope.

Her release came amid speculation that the father had transmitted a letter of withdrawal from the councillorship race to the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC), a condition given by the kidnappers to release the daughter.

Adeosun, in a telephone call , confirmed the development, saying she is presently receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital.
