Tragedy in APC: Party Shuts Secretariat After Murder of Kidnapped Director

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has shut down its national secretariat in Abuja following the killing of its Director of Administration, Hon. AbdulRauf Adekunle Adeniji.

Adeniji, who was reportedly kidnapped weeks ago, was confirmed dead last month. Despite ongoing negotiations for a N50 million ransom, the kidnappers concealed news of his death while still engaging with his family.
