According to the statement, the Commissioner of Police in Oyo State immediately directed the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Challenge Division, alongside other tactical teams, to proceed to the scene of the incident after receiving the report.

The police disclosed that the victims’ vehicle had been recovered, while intensive investigations and search operations had commenced to track down the kidnappers and rescue the victims unharmed.

The Command further assured the public that all necessary resources had been deployed to facilitate the rescue operation and ensure that those responsible for the crime are apprehended and brought to justice.

Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the abduction are ongoing.

The Police Command urged residents to remain calm, law-abiding, and cooperative by providing credible information that could assist security agencies in their efforts to rescue the victims and arrest the perpetrators.
