Two killed as police rescue three Indians, one other from kidnappers in Ogun

The Ogun State Police Command has successfully rescued three Indian nationals and one Nigerian who were abducted on Sunday by suspected gunmen at the Delabo axis of the Sagamu-Ijebu Ode-Benin Expressway.

Commissioner of Police (CP) Abiodun Alamutu disclosed this during a news conference held at the command’s headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, on Wednesday. He reported that two suspected kidnappers were neutralized during a police operation in a bush where they were hiding.

According to CP Alamutu, the criminals engaged in a shootout with the police upon noticing their presence, but the police’s anti-kidnapping squad, utilizing superior firepower, managed to eliminate two suspects while others escaped with injuries, abandoning their weapons at the scene.

The rescued victims, consisting of one Nigerian and three Indian nationals, were safely reunited with their families unharmed. The police also recovered significant items, including 109 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, five AK-47 rifles, eight AK-47 magazines, and two mobile phones.

CP Alamutu assured the public of the police force’s commitment to protecting lives and property, emphasizing that a rapid response team has been deployed to enhance security along the Sagamu-Benin route. He urged the public to promptly report individuals displaying gunshot wounds under suspicious circumstances.
