“Eventually, none of the passengers were kidnapped but the TRACE officer was unlucky,” he said.
Confirming the incident, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the state anti-kidnapping team is already on the trail of the kidnappers.
“Our anti-kidnapping squad are already after them; we are combing the forests and we know that they will all be arrested.
“Ogun State is not a ground for criminals to settle. It is either they leave or we smoke them out of this state,” Oyeyemi said.
