Police arrest 3 suspects over abduction of ex-minister’s son

The Police yesterday said three suspects have been arrested as part of
investigations into the abduction of Dayo Adewole, a son of the former
health minister, Isaac Adewole.
Dayo was on Tuesday kidnapped by unknown gunmen at Iroko, a suburb of
Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. The victim was abducted on his farm at
about 6.30 pm on Tuesday.
The police earlier on Wednesday said they had recovered the car used
to abduct the younger Adewole.
The Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 11
comprising Oyo, Osun and Ondo states, Leye Oyebade, while briefing
journalists on Wednesday said three persons had been arrested.
The suspects arrested include the victim’s driver employed a few days
ago, Gbenga Ogunleye; the farm manager, Sodiq Adebayo; and another
worker on the farm. Oyebade and the Commissioner of Police in the
state, Shina Olukolu, visited the farm and the point where the
victim’s car was abandoned near Aba Ode Junction around Amosun
village.
Oyebade said the police had launched a manhunt for the kidnappers. He
assured members of the public that the victim would be rescued.
