Following the abduction of unidentified number of persons along Sagamu-Ijebu-Ode Expressway by suspected Kidnappers over the weekend, Ogun state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has ordered security agents to launch aggressive search for the gunmen
Governor Abiodun, who gave the order in a statement on Tuesday, assured that the state will not be allowed to become a den for kidnappers, and promised that the perpetrators would be smoked out and punished.
He said, “Following Sunday’s kidnapping incident that occurred in Ilishan, we want to reassure all residents that decisive action is being taken to apprehend the perpetrators and ensure the safe return of the victims
“The security forces have launched a comprehensive manhunt and are working tirelessly to track down the kidnappers. Additional security measures and patrols have also been deployed to the affected area and across the state to prevent any further incidents.
“We understand the concerns and anxiety this incident has caused, but we want to emphasize that Ogun State remains a safe place to live, work, and visit. The government is committed to maintaining law and order and will not relent in its efforts to protect the lives and property of all citizens.”
Recall that a number of persons were reportedly kidnapped on Sunday around the Sagamu Area Command and Ilishan City Gate on the ever-busy road by gunmen who ambushed them at about 9 pm.
