The police command in Ondo State says it has rescued an abducted lady, Oluwaseun Adebayo, and arrested four suspects connected with the incident in Akure, the state capital.
DSP Olushola Ayanlade, the command’s spokesperson, made this known in a statement made available to newsmen on Thursday in Akure.
Ayanlade, who said the rescue followed prompt action after an alert from a public-spirited citizen, explained that the incident occurred on Nov. 4 at about 6:30 pm.
He said subsequent investigations revealed that the victim, Adebayo, was abducted along Weluwelu Street, Ilekun, Oda, in the Akure South Local Government Area of the state.
“A good Samaritan notified the police that four young men driving an unregistered Toyota Camry had forcefully abducted a lady and were heading towards the Shoprite roundabout in Akure,” he stated.
He added, “Acting swiftly on the intelligence, the command’s personnel immediately mobilized and strategically blocked the suspects’ route. They successfully intercepted the vehicle, leading to the arrest of all four assailants and the immediate rescue of the victim.” (NAN)
