Men of the Ogun State Police Command have rescued three kidnapped victims who were abducted along Siun/Ajura road in Ogere Remo area of the State.

The three victims, Jibril Afolabi, Alhaji Amusat Taofeek and Balikis Mohammed were coming from Ilorin, Kwara State at about 3am and were on their way to Owode Egbado in Yewa South Local Government areas of Ogun State.

Ogun police spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who disclosed this on Friday, said their vehicle was allegedly double-crossed by some gunmen who dragged them into the bush, while other passengers escaped.

Upon receiving the information, the state Commissioner of Police, Edward Awolowo Ajogun, directed the Area Commander, Sagamu to mobilize men from all the divisions within the area and go after the hoodlums.

The CP also ordered the command’s anti kidnapping unit as well as SWAT to move to the scene, the spokesperson said.

Mr Oyeyemi said the officers cordoned off the entire bush and combed thoroughly with the assistance of hunters, men of So Safe Corp and local vigilantes, which forced the suspects to abandon their victims and run away.

The police spokesperson said no ransom was paid before and after the rescue operations, adding that the rescued victims have been escorted to their destination at Owode Egbado
