The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Ayanlade Olayinka Olushola, who disclosed this to journalists in Akure, the state capital, said the suspected kidnappers were apprehended at Epinmi Akoko area of the state.

He said, “Sequel to credible intelligence received at about 0030hrs on 18th June, 2025, operatives of the Epinmi Vigilante Group apprehended one Arohunmolase Idowu (25 years), of No. 14 Araromi Isalu Quarters, Epinmi Akoko. The suspect was found loitering suspiciously at odd hours and was unable to give a satisfactory account of his movement.”

“Acting on information obtained during preliminary interrogation, the team arrested another suspect, Bada Tosin (26 years), also of Epinmi Akoko.

“The suspects subsequently led the operatives to a secluded building in the bush. Upon searching the premises, the following items were recovered: Two locally-made dane guns, assorted charms, four cutlasses, four axes and other dangerous weapons.”

According to the PPRO, “A particularly disturbing discovery was a deep pit located inside the building, strongly suspected to have been used to confine kidnapped victims.

“The suspects and recovered exhibits have been transferred to the Anti-Kidnapping Unit for discreet investigation. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.”
