According to reports, the police officers were abducted on Thursday at Wasinmi, in Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State and findings have shown that the kidnapped cops arrived in Ogun State from Zone 2, Onikan, Lagos State, for an investigation.
They were said to have been duly booked at the police division in Wasinmi before they left for their place of primary assignment.
While speaking with a police source, it was discovered that the officers, led by Inspector Oladipo Olayemi, were kidnapped on the road by their abductors, who allegedly accosted them at about 2:30 pm, while the commercial driver, who conveyed the cops, barely escaped by whiskers from the kidnappers.
It was further gathered that the Divisional Police Officer in Ewekoro had led his men in search of the missing policemen but when the Ogun State Police Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, was contacted, he confirmed the incident and said, “People were kidnapped, but only one policeman is involved.“
Oyeyemi added that the police are on the kidnappers’ trail, assuring that the victims would be rescued.
“We are on the trail of the kidnappers. Do you think we are going to keep quiet? We will get them and rescue the victims unhurt,” he said.
He added that men of the anti-kidnapping unit are on the kidnappers’ trail.
