The operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit of the Ogun State Police Command have secured the release of an abducted victim in an incident that happened at Ogbe village on June 11.
They equally neutralised two suspected kidnappers while securing the safe release of the victim.
Items recovered as exhibits from the kidnappers, according to a release by the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, included a single-barrel gun; one expended cartridge; a mobile phone; a cash sum of Two Million, Two Hundred Thousand Naira (₦2,200,000), and other exhibits linked to the criminal enterprise.
The PPRO explained that the Command swung into action upon receipt of the information by deploying its Anti-Kidnapping Unit to secure the victim’s release and bring the perpetrators to justice.
He informed that through sustained intelligence gathering, strategic surveillance, and relentless operational pressure mounted on the criminal gang, the victim was eventually released unharmed on June 18, 2026.
Babaseyi said the successful operation is a testament to the effectiveness of the intelligence-driven and proactive crime-fighting strategies being vigorously pursued by the Ogun State Police Command under the leadership of the Commissioner of Police, CP Bode Ojajuni, in ensuring the safety and security of residents across the state.
He further said that the Command would ensure that those responsible did not evade justice, while the operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit intensified follow-up operations and embarked on a coordinated manhunt for the suspects.
Babaseyi said, “The Command has since intensified efforts to track down and apprehend the fleeing gang members, while investigations continues.”
He said that the CP appreciated the gallantry, professionalism, courage, and operational effectiveness of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit, stating that the success reinforces the Command’s resolve to relentlessly pursue kidnappers and other violent criminals wherever they may seek refuge.
The CP reiterated that Ogun State will remain hostile terrain for criminal elements and assured residents that the Command will continue to deploy intelligence-led policing, robust tactical operations, and strategic partnerships with communities to protect lives and property.
He further urged members of the public to remain security conscious and continue to provide timely, useful, and credible information that will aid ongoing efforts to rid the state of criminality.
Members of the public are encouraged to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious activities to the police.
