Edo State Commissioner of Police, CP Funsho Adegboye, has said that men of his command are already on the trail of the abductors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) state’s chairman, Dr Tony Aziegbemi.
Adegboye, who spoke to journalists in Benin Monday night while parading some suspects, disclosed that the Command’s operatives are closing-in on the kidnappers.
Recall that Dr Aziegbemi was kidnapped by some gunmen at about 11 pm on Friday, just a few meters to his GRA residence in Benin City, the Edo state capital, after attending a political meeting at the State Government House.
“We have intensified our patrol, we were in the creeks yesterday Sunday), around Ologbo, Obayantor and other parts of this country.
“We are not leaving any stone unturned, we are already on the trail of the people that perpetrated that crime and I can assure you that in no distance time, we are going to rescue him unhurt,” Adegboye said.
The CP, however, noted that the Command has not given preferential treatment to any kidnap victim or treated one as more important than others.
“Crime is crime, victim is victim. I want to let you know that we care for all. We don’t want to profile victims as if one is special over the other. No victim is above the other victim.
“The Executive Governor of this state, His Excellency, Godwin Obaseki, is supporting us in this way.
“No victim is greater than another victim. That market woman is also as important as any other victim” CP Adegboye added.
