The Ogun State security outfit, So-Safe Corps has secured the release of a kidnap victim and apprehended two of the six kidnapped suspects.
In a statement from the office of the State Commander of the Corps, Dr Soji Ganzalo through the office of the Director of Information and Public Relations of the Corps, Mr Moruf Yusuf said that the agency was able to secure the release of Mr Seyi Olorunsogo, a victim, who was kidnapped right in front of the gate of his house at Solu, Rounder, Abeokuta.
According to Dr Ganzalo, the victim was kidnapped alongside his wife but the husband, Seyi surrendered himself and pleaded that his wife be set free, and they concurred.
Dr Ganzallo said that the kidnappers then advanced from there through Onigbedu, Ewekoro in Ifo Local Government Area and met Mr Francis Oke at Onigbedu while he was on his hunting and kidnapped him.
Mr Oke, however, later escaped from his abductors through his vast knowledge of the routes in the bush.
Dr Ganzalo stated further that it was the hunter that reported the matter to the So-Safe, and the officers swung into action on rescue and apprehension missions.
The Commander as well made it known that some hunters joined the operation to aggressively comb the bush.
Gonzalo noted that the two apprehended kidnap suspects were Umoru, an indigent of Kwara and Alliu who hailed from Kebbi State while the other four who escaped arrest and were at large would definitely be brought to book as So-Safe and hunters continue combing the Bush in the Area.
A riffle was found on the alleged kidnap suspects arrested.
The rescued victim had been transferred to the Nigeria Police, Ewekoro Divisional Police Headquarters for further investigation.
