Operatives of the Nigeria Police neutralised kidnappers of Assistant Inspector-General (AIG) of Police Hakeem Odumosu’s wife, and recovered the ransom taken before she was released.
Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers had abducted Odumosu’s wife from her residence in the Arepo area of Ogun State.
The kidnappers were said to have stormed the home of the Odumosus while shooting sporadically.
Confirming the incident in Abeokuta, spokesperson of the Ogun State Command, Omolola Odutola, said the command reacted swiftly to the abduction by deploying operatives to secure her release.
Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, applauded the operatives and Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, for neutralising the kidnappers.
“We are committed to safeguarding Nigerian citizens and our dear country,” Egbetokun said.
Announcing the development, in a statement, force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, promised to update the public on the rescue operation.
