The Nigeria Police Force has announced the rescue of the wife of retired Assistant Inspector General of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, who was abducted about a week ago in the Arepo area of Ogun State.
In a statement shared Thursday morning on Twitter, the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, revealed that police operatives successfully rescued Mrs. Odumosu, neutralised her kidnappers, and recovered the ransom that had been used as bait.
Adejobi, however, did not provide further details about the operation.
He noted that the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, commended the efforts of the police operatives involved and praised the Commissioner of Police in Ogun State, Lanre Ogunlowo, for their success.
