Three victims of a kidnap syndicate who were abducted along Siun-Ajura Road in Ogere Remo area of Ogun State have been rescued by operatives of Ogun State police command.
The three victims – Jibril Afolabi, Alhaji Amusat Taofeek and Balikis Mohammed – were coming from Ilorin, Kwara State heading to Owode Egbado when their vehicle was double crossed at about 3 a.m. by some gunmen who dragged them into the bush while other passengers escaped.
Receiving the information, the Commissioner of Police, CP Edward Awolowo Ajogun, directed the Area Commander, Shagamu to mobilise men from all the division within the area and go after the hoodlums.
He equally ordered the command’s anti-kidnapping unit as well as SWAT to move to the scene.
The entire bush was cordoned off, and combed thoroughly with the assistance of hunters, local vigilantes and men of So Safe Corp.
The heat on them made them to abandon the victims and take flight.
All the victims were rescued without any ransom paid.
They have been escorted to their destination at Owode Egbado.
