The chairman of the Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Tony Aziegbemi, has detailed the challenges he encountered while in captivity.

Recall that six armed individuals kidnapped Aziegbemi as he arrived at his home following a meeting with Governor Godwin Obaseki at the government house on Friday, March 15, 2024, at 11 pm.

After spending 11 days in the kidnappers’ hideout, the PDP chieftain was eventually released on March 26, 2024.

We understand that his abductors had initially demanded a ransom of N500 million for his release, although the exact amount paid remains undisclosed.

The politician expressed hope that nobody else would have to endure such a harrowing experience as he had with the kidnappers.

“I would not wish anyone, even my worst enemies, to go through the ordeal I had in the kidnappers’ den,” he said.

The deputy governor emphasized that his visit was to celebrate Easter with the chairman, highlighting his strong connection with Aziegbemi’s family.

“We came to celebrate Easter with our chairman and also thank God for his safe return home from the den of kidnappers.
