The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Lanre Ogunlowo, has conducted an on-the-spot assessment of the Sagamu-Ijebu Ode Expressway to address the growing kidnapping menace.

The move aims to boost public confidence and reduce fear among travelers.

According to the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mrs. Omolola Odutola, the assessment revealed that kidnappers often ambush trucks, forcing them to stop at gunpoint.

This creates a blockade, trapping other vehicles and allowing the criminals to abduct victims before fleeing into nearby forests.

To counter these attacks, the commissioner has identified key locations within the forest and plans to intensify police presence in the area.

Mrs. Odutola stated that the strategy includes deploying more officers, enhancing surveillance, and collaborating with local farmers and hunters familiar with the terrain.

Motorists were also advised to avoid traveling at unsafe hours and to stay updated on police advisories.

The commissioner reassured residents and travelers that kidnapping will not become an uncontrollable issue under his leadership, emphasizing his commitment to proactive policing.

The public was urged to report suspicious activities or criminal hideouts using the police emergency lines.
