The Ondo State Police Command has apprehended seven suspected kidnappers and rescued a victim in operations conducted between February 13 and 15.<\/p>\n

Commissioner of Police, Mr. Wilfred Afolabi, announced the arrests during a press briefing in Akure on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The operations, bolstered by intelligence gathering and technical support, led to the capture of suspects aged between 20 and 40.<\/p>\n

On February 13, Aminu was arrested at Akure Garage in Ikare-Akoko, Akoko North East Local Government Area, which subsequently led to the arrest of 25-year-old Abdullah Abubakar.<\/p>\n

Further operations on February 14 and 15 resulted in the detention of four additional suspects: Yusuf Saidu (22), Nafiu Ibrahim (32), Mohammed Anas (20), and Kabiru Mohammed (24).<\/p>\n

In a separate incident in Ipele, Owo Local Government Area, a woman was abducted from her residence.<\/p>\n

Prompt action by the police, in collaboration with local youths, led to her rescue and the recovery of an AK-49 rifle at the scene.<\/p>\n

Intelligence-led efforts also culminated in the arrest of 27-year-old Yusuf Suleiman, implicated in the abduction.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Special Anti-Kidnapping Squad apprehended 40-year-old ex-convict Ishaku Abdul, recently released from prison, who is suspected of involvement in recent kidnappings in the region. All suspects were previously on the police’s wanted list.<\/p>\n

These arrests underscore the ongoing efforts by Ondo State law enforcement to combat kidnapping and enhance public safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
