Through a distress call from a passenger who called Ogun State Police Command Incident toll lines at about 1813 today 25th July 2023, the voice echoed in panic that the road on which their bus was plying was blocked by armed robbers and they were forced to park due to scare.
Not quiet long after that, another report was received through a direct message from a staff of Federal College of Education that their immediate past provost, Dr. Ayodele Ajayi, was kidnapped on his way from Olodo to Abeokuta some minutes back.
There is no cause for more panic as the CP has deployed operational teams and detectives of the Ogun Police Command to go after the yet to be identified gunmen.
They will be rescued as assured by CP Alamutu Abiodun because all the security agencies are on joint operation combing the bush, efforts of Police, Amotekun, Vigilante and hunters have been mobilised into the forest on strict order to apprehend the gunmen and rescue the victims alive.
The wife of the man who was also kidnapped but later left behind due to hot chase from the policemen, has been rushed to the hospital, the gun men abandoned their victim’s vehicle and took the car owner and his driver with them.
Though it was from other sources the police got an unconfirmed identify or wind of who the kidnappers took away as Dr. Adetayo Ajayi of Osiele, Abeokuta.
The details are skeletal but once any review is available from the policemen trailing the kidnappers, updates would be made available to the public.
