The command’s spokesperson, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, made the disclosure in Abeokuta on Friday that kidnappers operating in military camouflage abducted the victims at Ewekoro Local Government Area of the state.

“The victims regained their freedom at about 9:45 p.m. on Thursday and have since been reunited with their families.

“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.
