Publicity Secretary of the party in the state, Mr Idowu Akinrinlola, confirmed the incident on Thursday.
According to him, Mr Ogungbemi and the others were kidnapped on Wednesday evening along the Oba-Akoko/Owo Road, while they were travelling from Ikare-Akoko to Akure, the state capital.
Those said to have been kidnapped alongside Ogungbemi are his special assistant and his driver, as well one Jide Ipinsagba and an ADC chieftain in the state, Princess Abdulkareem.
