Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers at the early hours of Friday abducted Mrs. Odumosu, wife of a retired Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG), Hakeem Odumosu.
Mrs. Odumosu was abducted at the gate of her residence in the Arepo axis of Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State while returning home from an outing.
LEADERSHIP gathered that wife of the retired police boss was about entering her home when four masked men shooting sporadically into the air attacked her, dragged her down from her Lexus Jeep and took her through the swampy areas to an unknown destination.
Spokesperson of the Ogun Command of Nigeria Police Force, Omolola Odutola, who confirmed the incident to journalists in Abeokuta, the state capital, said the command has swiftly reacted by deploying operatives to secure her release.
“Information was received regarding the kidnapping of Mrs. Odumosu, a female resident of Aminu Street, Arepo, Ogun State,” she stated.
She added that the Divisional Police Officer has led a team of Police officers to the scene, where they are currently searching the swampy bush area.
The Divisional Police Officer has also contacted Baale Warewa and Baale Maaba, to deploy local security forces to the reverrine area.
She further stated that the State’s Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, has been briefed “and all covert operations have been deployed to assist with digital intelligence to ensure she is rescued unhurt.”
