“The kidnappers came under intensive pressure and aggressive trailing by the police and were left with no choice other than to release the captives,” Oyeyemi said.

He added that the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole, has directed that no stone should be left unturned in ensuring that the kidnappers were all arrested and brought to book.
