Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command on March 11 rescued a journalist, Oduneye Olusegun, who was kidnapped by some gunmen in the Mobalufon area of Ijebu Ode on March 9. The journalist, who was coming from Abeokuta was kidnapped in the Mobalufon area in his Toyota Camry car at about 7:50 pm.

Upon the report, the Commissioner of Police, CP Frank Mba directed the DPO Obalende divisional headquarters, SP Murphy Salami, whose jurisdiction the incident happened to ensure the safe rescue of the victim.

Their efforts paid off when the Toyota Camry of the victim was traced to Idimu area of Lagos, where the kidnappers were hibernating waiting for the ransom.

On sighting the policemen, the hoodlums engaged them in a shootout which lasted for about 45 minutes before they abandoned the car and took to their heels after sustaining varying degrees of gunshot injuries. The victim’s car which was soaked with the kidnapper’s blood as a result of gunshot injuries was recovered by the Police team.
