The spokesperson of the command, Toun Ejire- Adeyemi, in a statement yesterday, said policemen successfully rescued the victims following a distress call on December 21.

“The victims who were abducted on their way to a wedding in Kogi State, were rescued in a joint operation involving the police and the Oke-Ero local government security initiative personnel. Acting on credible intelligence and with the support of local informants, the security operatives swiftly mobilised to the suspects’ hideout located in the Idofin-Igbana area.

“Upon sighting the security team, the kidnappers, six in number and some dressed to disguise in military uniforms, engaged the operatives in a gun battle but were overpowered by the superior firepower of the rescue team. They fled the scene with various degrees of injuries, abandoning their captives in the process,” Ejire- Adeyemi said.

She added that the rescued victims included three females and 10 males from various locations, including Odo-Owa in Oke-Ero LGA, Ilorin, Ogbomoso in Osun State  and a group of trailer drivers en route Kogi State.
