The Ogun State Command of the Nigerian Police says it has successfully rescued three workers of former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s Farm, from their kidnappers’ den.
The good news is coming three days after the Farm’s workers were abducted on Wednesday evening at Seseri Village while on their way back from work. The farm is located in the Kobape area, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state.
Police Spokesperson, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Abimbola Oyeyemi, who disclosed the development in Abeokuta on Friday evening, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the workers regained their freedom following “a serious pressure mounted on the kidnappers”.
He said the anti-kidnapping operatives had been on the trail of the abductors, adding that the squad had continued combing bushes around the area since the incident happened.
According to him; “Yes, we mounted a lot of pressures on the kidnappers. Since yesterday (Thursday) our anti-kidnapping operatives have been in the bush searching for them.
“They were able to trace them to the bush behind the Day Waterman College, along the Kobape Road. This evening, they released them (victims) unhurt without any ransom.”
Responding to questions about whether there has been any arrest, Oyeyemi said; “Not yet, but we are very sure that we will make arrests soon”.
