Caroline Adeneye (Nee Negbenebor), the daughter of billionaire business man, Sir Michael Negbenebor has confirmed in strong terms the abduction, last weekend, of the Chairman, Soccer group of companies, and Negbenebor International School.

Society Reporters NG exclusively gathered that, Sir Negbenebor was abducted in benin last week Sunday in Benin city, Edo State. We gathered further that the security situation in the state whereby law abiding citizens or residents no longer go about their lawful duties freely or move freely within the ambit of the laws of the land, was very worrisome and counterproductive.
When Society Reporters contacted Caroline Adeneye on the abduction, she told us in a telephone chat that the story is true. “Its true he was kidnapped last week Sunday in Benin”
She stated further that, “ The kidnappers asked for a ransome which we have paid on Tuesday 26th August, 2014, and till now he has not been released.
When asked how much ransome was paid to the kidnappers, Caroline refused to disclose the amount paid, for security reasons and also considering the fact that her father is yet to return home.
“ I cant disclose the amount we paid” she told us.
The siege which the people of Edo State have been subjected to in recent times by these agents of counter-culture, is even more disturbing, given the presence of the members of Edo State government’s elite anti-kidnapping/crime outfit named, “Operation Thunderstorm” in the state, particularly in Benin city, where most of the abductions have so far taken place
The alarming rate of kidnapping and upsurge in other criminal activities in the state calls to question the effectiveness and efficiency of “Operation Thunderstorm”, which the state government is funding with the tax payers’ money, that is, the money of the people they are supposed to protect.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has expelled Rauf Aregbesola, a former Minister of Interior and ex-Osun State Governor, over alleged anti-party activities.

 

Aregbesola, who was a two-term governor of Osun State had been having a running battle with the Osun chapter of the APC in recent times.

 

The disagreement with the APC led him into forming a factional group within the party, known as The Osun Progressive (TOP) which later mutated into the Omoluabi Caucus.

 

 

 

A letter from the APC leadership seen by newsmen on Wednesday officially confirmed Aregbesola’s expulsion.

 

The letter, titled “Allegations of Anti-Party Activities – Conveyance of State Exco Decision to You,” accused him of breaching Article 21 of the party’s constitution, which outlines disciplinary measures for members.

 

The letter read in part, “At the end of the investigation, the State Executive Committee (SEC) considered the report of the Disciplinary Committee. Having carefully reviewed the findings and recommendations, the SEC resolved to approve your immediate expulsion from the APC.

 

 

The decision was predicated on clear evidence of your actions, which undermined the unity and integrity of the party. As a result, you are no longer a member of the APC and must refrain from holding yourself out as one or acting on behalf of the party in any capacity.”
