The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has rescued Folasade Odumosu, the wife of the former Assistant Inspector General, Hakeem Odumosu.
The NPF Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed it in a statement this Thursday in Abuja.
Adejobi said with the support of the Force Headquarters technical intelligence platforms, the Ogun State police operatives engaged Odumosu’s abductors in a gun duel and neutralised the criminals in the swampy area of Ikorodu on Wednesday.
Adejobi said the police operatives recovered N10m initially paid to the kidnappers, four AK-47 rifles, three locally made single-barrel rifles, and ammunition of various calibres. He added that Odumosu is currently undergoing a medical evaluation and has since been reunited with her family.
Adejobi said the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, praised the police operatives and the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, for the rescue operation.
He affirmed that the police force is committed to safeguarding the citizens and combating kidnapping and other violent crimes.
Recall that Odumosu was abducted last Thursday at the entrance of her residence in the Arepo area of Ogun State.
