Police said the two persons were kidnapped along Igbara-Odo/Ikere-Ekiti road on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at about 7:30pm by some gunmen.

Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Command, SP Sunday Abutu said operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), in a joint operation with the non-state security actors ensured the rescue of the victims.

Abutu said investigations revealed that the victims were on their way from Igbara-Odo to Ikere-Ekiti when one of their vehicle tyres got punctured.

He said while trying to fix the tyre, some unknown gunmen appeared from the bush, threatened them with guns and whisked them away to an unknown destination.

“Upon receipt of the information, the Command mobilised its operatives into the forest along that axis for their possible rescue and the arrest of the perpetrators.

“The operations eventually paid off as the operatives engaged the kidnappers in a gun duel which forced them to escape with gunshots injuries, leaving the victims behind. Effort is ongoing to ensure the arrest of these miscreants and other criminal elements in the State,” Abutu said.

He further stated that the rescued victims were immediately taken to the hospital for medical attention and subsequently reunited with their family members.

Abutu who expressed the Command’s commitment to continue prioritising maximum safety of the residents, implored the public to be vigilant, security conscious and ensure they support and collaborate with the police and other security agencies in the fight against crime and criminality.
