Just in: Police rescue wife of retired AIG Hakeem Odumosu, gun down kidnappers

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.

“The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to safeguarding Nigerian citizens and our dear country,” Adejobi added in his statement.

Recall VANGUARD reported four hooded heavily armed men suspected to be kidnappers abducted the Mrs. Odumosu, from her residence last Thursday.

Eyewitnesses reported that the kidnappers, executing a well-coordinated attack, intercepted the wife of the Ex Police AIG as she was about to enter her compound at about 9:55pm on Thursday.

Her Lexus SUV was forcibly stopped, and she was dragged out before being whisked away through a swampy area to an unknown location.
