Four travellers who were abducted on the Sagamu-Ijebu-Ode expressway last Sunday have been rescued, according to a statement by the Ogun State Police Command on Wednesday.
SP Omolola Odutola, the spokesperson for the state command, announced that the anti-kidnapping team successfully freed Mr. Ola and three Indian nationals along the Ogere axis of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Odutola mentioned that efforts are ongoing to apprehend the suspects who fled the scene.
The Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, had directed the anti-kidnapping unit to launch a manhunt for the perpetrators following the incident. The gunmen had ambushed the travellers between the Sagamu Area Command and Ilisan township.
