Ogun State Police Command has arrested a member of kidnap gang that abducted one Mrs Abosede Adenuga from Lagos State, Monday.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, who disclosed this in Abeokuta yesterday, explained that SARS operatives made the arrest and rescued the victim.
He said the command got a tip-off that the gang was heading to Ijebu axis to hide the captive, adding that this prompted the command to deploy men on Ibefun/Ikorodu road where some suspected kidnappers operated and hid their victims.
Adejobi said the kidnappers were ambushed by the police at Imodi Ijasi, along Ijebu Ode/Ikorodu road, rescued the captive and arrested one Tunde Akilo.
He said: “The kidnappers, who noticed police presence, jumped on a motorcycle to escape but, they were caught by the police operatives who used another motorcycle to pursue them and rescued the victim.
“One loaded locally-made cut-to-size double-barrelled gun, four live cartridges, a Volkswagen car and assorted charms were recovered from the kidnappers.”
