Photograph: Administrative Secretary of INEC in Ekiti State abducted

Dr Muslim Omoleke, the Administrative Secretary of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Ekiti State was captured by obscure shooters on Thursday, November third.

Omoleke was captured at Iwaraja people group, close Ilesa in Osun State, alongside his child and authority driver on his way back to Ekiti state from authority visits to Ondo and Osun States. The shooters drove them into a woodland in Ijeshaland and later discharged his child and driver together with the auto.

The representative of INEC in Ekiti State, Alhaji Taiwo Gbadegesin, who affirmed the episode said a report has been made to security offices in Ondo, Osun and Ekiti States, including that the abductors are yet to reach the INEC and the casualty's family.

Likewise affirming the hijacking, the representative for the State Police Command, DSP Alberto Adeyemi, said the INEC boss was not grabbed in Ekiti State but rather in Osun State, which is outside the ward of the Ekiti State Police Command.
