Armed men stormed the house of retired Assistant Inspector General of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, and seized his wife.
Mrs. Odumosu was reportedly abducted in the early hours of Friday at Arepo in Ogun State near Lagos, off the Lagos-Ibadan expressway amid sporadic shooting by the gunmen.
Confirming the incident, the spokesperson for the State Police Command, CSP Omolola Odutola, said the command acted swiftly by deploying operatives to secure her release.
“Information was received regarding the kidnapping of Mrs. Odumosu, a female resident of Aminu Street, Arepo, Ogun State.
“Reports indicate that she was about to enter her home when four masked men attacked her, dragged her from her Lexus Jeep, and took her through swampy areas to an unknown location,” she said.
According to Odutola, the Divisional Police Officer has led a team of officers to the scene, where they are currently combing the swampy bush area in search of the victim.
Local security forces in the riverine areas, including Baale Warewa and Baale Maaba, have also been engaged to assist in the rescue efforts.
“The State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, has been briefed, and all covert operations have been deployed to assist with digital intelligence to ensure she is rescued unhurt.”
