The victim, a 20-year-old male named Kehinde, was lured through WhatsApp and kidnapped by his assailants, who demanded a ransom of ₦500,000 from his family. Swift police action led to the arrest of three suspects: Celestine Okeke (28), Michael Okonkwo (25), and Kehinde Oladun (30) and the rescue of the kidnapped victim unhurt and he has since been reunited with his family.

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, has applauded the efforts of these brave and gallant operatives, urging them to sustain the tempo in ensuring Nigeria is rid of criminal elements. The Nigeria Police Force reaffirms its continued commitment to intelligence-driven policing, swift operational responses, and inter-agency collaboration and remains steadfast in its mission to protect lives and property across the nation. Members of the public are urged to remain vigilant, report suspicious activities, and cooperate with the Police as we work toward a safer and more secure Nigeria.
