Abductors Demand N40m Ransom For Two IBEDC Workers Kidnapped In Ogun

By Ayobami Ife, Abeokuta
Police operatives in Ogun State have neutralised the kidnappers who abducted Mrs.Odumosu, wife of a retired Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG), Hakeem Odumosu, and rescued her.
Mrs. Odumosu was kidnapped at the gate of her residence on Friday morning, January 16 in the Arepo area of Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State as she was returning home from an outing.
The masked gunmen seized Odumosu’s wife when she was about to enter her residence. They gunmen shot sporadically into the air before dragging her out of the Lexus Jeep she was driving and whisked her through a swampy forest of Arepo to a yet – to – be ascertained location.
Barely a week after the incident, operatives of Ogun Command of the Nigeria Police Force rescued her from the abductors and recovered the ransom paid.
Force Spokesperson, ACP ‘Muyiwa Adejobi disclosed the development on Thursday morning in a statement.
“Police Neutralize AIG Hakeem Odumosu’s wife Kidnappers, Recovers Ransom. The IGP has commended the Police Operatives and CP Ogun State, Lanre Ogunlowo, for a good job. We are committed to safeguarding Nigerian citizens and our dear country,” Adejobi stated.

Adejobi said details of the rescue operations will be made public later.

The Police Commissioner in Ogun State, Lanre Ogunlowo, is also expected to address the media later today on the matter.

The Daily Crucible learnt that following the concern generated by abduction especially as it affects a retired senior police officer’s wife, the Force Headquarters technical intelligence platforms threw its weight behind the Ogun State police operatives in extensive surveillance of the Arepo creeks and the surrounding areas, scanning crucial information to track down the assailants.
But this morning, January 23, 2025, at around 06:45 AM a raid on the creek yielded remarkable achievements.
Adejobi in a statement announcing the rescue operation stated, “In a commendable display of teamwork and swift action, police operatives attached to the Ogun State Command have successfully neutralized the kidnappers of Mrs. Odumosu, wife of Retired Assistant-Inspector General, AIG Hakeem Odumosu, and rescued her unharmed.

“On January 16, 2025, at approximately 9:45 PM, four masked gunmen forcibly abducted Mrs. Odumosu from her Lexus Jeep outside her residence in Arepo, Ogun State. The abduction sparked an immediate response from the anti-kidnapping unit of the Ogun State Police Command, who commenced a thorough investigation and targeted pursuit of the kidnappers.

“With the support of the Force Headquarters technical intelligence platforms, the Ogun State police operatives engaged in extensive surveillance of the creeks surrounding Arepo, gathering crucial information to track down the assailants. Their efforts culminated in a raid on January 23, 2025, at around 06:45 AM. The intelligence-led operation took the police to a creek in the swampy area of Ikorodu where the kidnappers were reportedly planning their next attack.                “Upon arrival, the operatives encountered the kidnappers, who opened fire. In the ensuing confrontation, two of the gunmen were neutralized, while four others fled the scene, abandoning their operational weapons. The victim, Mrs Odumosu was rescued within the swampy creeks during the operation, unharmed. She is currently undergoing medical evaluation as a precautionary measure and has since been reunited with her family. The police also recovered 4 Ak-47 rifles, 3 locally made single barrel rifles, ammunition of various calibers, and the sum of N10,000,000 ransom previously demanded by the kidnappers, further ensuring that justice is served. The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM., has commended the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo, and his operatives for their displayed gallantry in this successful operation.”

    I am double sure that the Nigerian Police Force, when they wanted to do what is right they do! They have the capacity! I have been involved in few of the operations with them as a Security person… I have joined them in successfully bursting a kidnap attempt!
    Kudos to the Nigerian Police ONLY for the Government to increase its funding..
