Three members of staff of former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, who were abducted around Kobape area in Ogun State have been rescued by the Police.
The workers were abducted when they were on their way to one of Obasanjo farms located at Seseri village around Kobape.
But, Ogun State Police Command confirmed the rescue of the victims on Friday evening, without payment of any ransom.
According to Command’s Police Spokesperson, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the kidnappers could not help but release the workers as pressure was mounted on them by the operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping squad and SWAT.
Oyeyemi hinted that the operatives, immediately the incident happened, moved into the bush, mounting serious pressure on the abductors.
“We mounted a lot of pressure on the kidnappers. Since Thursday, our anti-kidnapping and SWAT operatives have been in the bush searching for them.
“They were able to trace them to the bush behind Day Waterman College. They have been there since yesterday.
“This evening, they released them unhurt without any ransom,” Oyeyemi disclosed.
He, however, said no arrest has been made yet, assuring that “we will make arrest.”
