Gunmen have kidnapped the wife of a former Lagos State Commissioner of Police and Assistant-Inspector General (retd), Mr. Hakeem Odumosu.
She was reportedly abducted from her residence in the Arepo area of Ogun State in the wee hours of Friday.
It was gathered that the gunmen wearing masks waylaid Mrs. Odumosu’s vehicle while she was approaching her residence, dragged her out and whisked her to an unknown destination
While confirming the incident in Abeokuta, the spokesman for the Ogun State Police Command, CSP Omolola Odutola, said the command acted immediately 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,” Odutola said.
“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.”
According to the police image maker, 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 operatives in the riverine areas, including Baale Warewa and Baale Maaba, have also been engaged to assist in the rescue efforts.
Odutola added, “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.”
