Operatives of the Oyo State Police Command, in collaboration with other security agencies, have successfully rescued a kidnapped victim in the Igbeti area of Oyo State.
The victim, Alhaji Gede Yusuf, aged 30, from Old Oyo National Park, Dauda Village via Igbeti, was rescued unharmed following an intelligence-driven operation.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Ayanlade Olayinka, stated that the rescue was achieved through sustained bush-combing operations conducted across known flashpoints, involving both security agencies and community partners. Due to the intense pressure from the joint security team, the kidnappers abandoned the victim, who was promptly taken to a hospital for medical attention and later discharged in stable condition.
Femi Haruna, the Commissioner of Police, commended the bravery of the operatives and the collaborative efforts of partner agencies and community stakeholders that led to the successful rescue. He also directed the Command’s Anti-Kidnapping Squad to thoroughly debrief the victim while continuing investigations to ensure all perpetrators are apprehended and prosecuted.
The Oyo State Police Command reassured residents of its commitment to protecting lives and property and urged the public to support security agencies with timely and credible information.
