The Ogun State Police Command has provided details of how gunmen kidnapped the wife of retired Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Hakeem Odumosu from her residence in Arepo, Ogun State.
Police spokesperson Omolola Odutola said the incident occurred in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area as the victim was returning home.
According to Odutola, Mrs. Odumosu was approaching her residence when the assailants intercepted her Lexus Jeep. The gunmen then forcefully removed her from the vehicle and dragged her through a swampy area to an unknown location.
“The divisional police officer has mobilized a team to comb the surrounding swampy bush area,” Odutola said, adding that local traditional rulers have been enlisted to assist in the search operation.
“The Baale of Warewa and Maaba have been contacted to also deploy local security forces to the riverine area,” she stated.
