The Osun State Police Command on Tuesday said that a driver and his passenger abducted by gunmen on Ibada-Akure Road have now been rescued.

Gunmen on Saturday abducted the duo from a commercial bus marked KTP 331 RG after a gun duel with security operatives.


One of the abductees was rescued by the search parties which involved the police, hunters and members of Oodua Peopleโ€™s Congress (OPC) on Monday.
Osun State Commissioner of Police Olawale Olokode said four of the kidnappers have been arrested.
A statement by the police spokesperson, Mrs Yemisi Opalola, said, โ€œThe victims were released due to the pressure mounted on the abductors by the police and other security agencies.โ€
Olokode appealed to the people to collaborate with police to get rid of criminals in the state.
