Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, on Tuesday, ordered security agents to launch a manhunt to bring to book gunmen involved in Sunday’s kidnapping along the Sagamu-Ijebu Ode Expressway.
A yet-to-be-identified number of people were reportedly kidnapped on Sunday around the Sagamu Area Command and Ilishan City Gate on the ever-busy road by gunmen who ambushed them at about 9 pm.
The governor said security sources disclosed that the kidnapping was an insider’s job as all the victims were foreign nationals who arrived in the country the same day the incident occurred, adding that they were probably trailed to the location where the kidnapping took place.
Abiodun, in a statement on Tuesday, said the state will not be allowed to become a den for kidnappers, and promised that the perpetrators would be smoked out and punished.
