JUST IN: Ex-Edo Lawmaker Abducted

A former Edo State House of Assembly member, Festus Edughele, has been kidnapped by yet-to-be-identified gunmen while going to the Airport in Benin, the state capital.
The incident happened on Monday morning in Ubiaja three days after 32 passengers waiting to board a train from the Igueben station in the Igueben Local Government Area of the state to Warri in Delta State were kidnapped by suspected herdsmen on Saturday evening.
The gunmen were said to have dragged their victim into the bush after he was abducted.

A former Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Festus Ebea, who confirmed the incident, said his former colleague intended to board the now suspended train service from Ubiaja to Abuja.
Ebea said, “He was kidnapped this morning in Ubiaja on his way from Orhionmwon to Benin. He had intended to take the train for Ubiaja but he could not do so since the train services had been suspended.
“The family is aware of his kidnap, the police division in that area has been informed and we hope action will be taken to rescue him,” he added.
