The Ogun State Police Command has rescued two Chinese nationals from kidnappers in Ogijo area of the state.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, told newsmen
on Tuesday that the police were able to trace the kidnappers to their
hideouts and a gun duel ensued during which one of the kidnappers was
killed.
He said, “Around 3pm on Monday, the
Assistant Inspector General in charge of Zone 2, Mammam Tsafe, called
the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ikemefuna Okoye, informing him that two
Chinese nationals had been kidnapped at Odongunya, Ikorodu, Lagos state.
“The CP ordered the Divisional Police
Officer, Ogijo, Toyin Afolaogun, to be on the lookout for the hoodlums.
The DPO sighted and pursued the hoodlums , who were in a BMW car with
number plate, CK 737 LSD, to their hideouts.
“The victims were rescued unhurt while
one of the suspects was fatally injured. Others fled with bullet wounds.
The CP has ordered the kidnappers’ den to be cordoned off and placed
under surveillance for further investigation to prevent hoodlums from
using the remote building that is almost three kilometres off
Sagamu-Ikorodu road for a similar operation.”
Adejobi said the matter had been
transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Eleweran,
for further investigation, adding that efforts were on to apprehend the
fleeing culprits.
The police spokesman said the items
recovered were three locally made pistols with live cartridges, phones,
masks and the BMW car.
