The Ogun State Police Command said its operatives have rescued four travellers abducted on Sunday on the Sagamu-Ijebu-Ode expressway.
The Spokesman for the state command, SP Omolola Odutola disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
She said those rescued along the Ogere axis of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway by the anti-kidnapping team of the state police command included one Mr Ola, and three Indian nationals.
“One Mr Ola, Pujan, and two other Indians names yet unknown have regained their freedom along Ogere inward Lagos Ibadan expressway. Efforts are ongoing to arrest the fleeing suspects,” Odutola said.
The Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, on Monday had ordered the anti-kidnapping unit to launch a manhunt against the hoodlums who attacked and kidnapped the travellers.
The gunmen were said to have ambushed the travellers between Sagamu Area Command of the Nigeria Police and Ilisan township.
