This development came to light through a statement issued by the Public Relations Officer, Abayomi Jimoh, on Tuesday.
The police operation, conducted in partnership with the Amotekun Corps and local hunters, also resulted in the rescue of two victims, Mr. Owolabi Patrick and Asoto Dada, unharmed. Additionally, N1.5 million was recovered from the suspects' hideout.

The command's swift action culminated in the successful rescue and arrest of the suspects, marking a significant stride in their ongoing battle against kidnapping and other violent crimes in the state.
