The wife of retired Assistant Inspector General of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, has been abducted from her residence in the Arepo area of Ogun State.
Mrs. Odumosu was taken by heavily armed kidnappers in the early hours of Friday after they stormed her home, firing shots.
Confirming the incident, Ogun State Police spokesperson CSP Omolola Odutola said the command quickly dispatched 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.”
Odutola confirmed that the Divisional Police Officer led a team to the scene and is combing the swampy area in search of the victim.
Local security forces, including Baale Warewa and Baale Maaba, are also assisting in the rescue operation.
“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,” Odutola added.
Efforts continue to locate Mrs. Odumosu and apprehend her abductors.
