The All Progressives Congress (APC), has shut its secretariat following the death of its Director of Administrative, Hon. Lateef  Adeniji, who was kidnapped by bandits.

Adeniji was reportedly kidnapped about two months ago in Abuja.

Investigation revealed that the victim was killed despite payment of N50 million by the party.

Further checks revealed that the victim had already been killed by the bandits about a month ago before the party could muscle the said amount.

The party, in a memo dated 10th April, 2025, and signed by the Deputy Director Of Administration, Ubagba Abel, said the shutting down of activities at the Secretariat was to mourn the passing of Adeniji.

Titled: “Secretariat closure for the mourning of the director of administration”, the party advised all the staff to use the period of mourning for sober reflection and prayers for the family and the loved ones.

“The National Secretary has approved the closure of the National secretariat from all party/work activities with immediate effect till Monday 14th April 2025.

“This decision was made after he had received the news of the sad demise of the Director of Administration Late Hon. AbdulRaif Adekunle Adeniji.”
