The Ondo State Police command have arrested three suspects and rescued three in connection with an alleged kidnapping incident captured on a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) camera in Oda, Akure.


The arrest followed the circulation of CCTV footage on social media showing the abduction of a victim by suspected criminals in the Oda area of Akure.

In a statement released on Sunday, March 22, the command’s spokesperson, DSP Abayomi Jimoh, said upon receiving the footage, the command immediately activated its intelligence team, leveraging digital surveillance analysis and coordinated field operations to identify and apprehend the suspects.


Jimoh mentioned that while acting on credible intelligence and investigative leads derived from the footage, operatives of the command’s Anti-Kidnapping Squad carried out targeted operations which led to the arrest of one of the suspects. He mentioned that during interrogation, the suspect provided useful information that led to the subsequent arrest of two other accomplices believed to have played active roles in the incident and who were also captured in the CCTV footage.


‘’Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects played various roles in the commission of the alleged kidnapping. They are identified as; Mohammed Koro ‘m’ aged; 27yrs, Muhammad Usman ‘m’ aged; 30yrs and Musa Alhaji ‘m’ aged; 23yrs.


However, operational efforts have culminated in the successful rescue of three victims earlier k!dnapped by the syndicate, namely: (1) Tosin Adesida ‘F’, (2) Adeniran Adesuyi ‘M’, and (3) Adewunmi Adewusi ‘M’. They have been debriefed  and taken to nearest hospital for medical attention. The suspects have made useful confessional statements, which are aiding ongoing efforts to ensure the arrest of other syndicate members. They will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.’’Jimoh said
