The Command’s spokesman, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed
the rescue, disclosed that “the victims were rescued following intensive
pursuit of the hoodlums who took them to the creeks”.
Oyeyemi said “the police operation which was personally led
by the Commissioner of Police, CP Bashir Makama made use of a police helicopter
for aerial surveillance of the creek where the hoodlums were tracked to, and
when the heat was too much on them, they were left with no other option than to
release their captives. The victims have since been reunited with their
families”.
The command confirmed that one suspect has been arrested in
connection with the case while efforts are on to apprehend the remaining members
of the gang.
CP Makama has ordered the Anti-kidnapping team as well as
other tactical squads in the command to do everything possible to bring the
hoodlums to book.
