The Oyo State Police Command has confirmed the rescue of a kidnapped victim in Igbeti area.
According to a press release signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ayanlade Olayinka, the abduction of 30-year-old Alhaji Gede Yusuf of Old Oyo National Park, Dauda Village via Igbeti, was reported at the Igbeti Divisional Police Headquarters.
The Command, in collaboration with other security agencies and non-state actors, launched sustained intelligence-driven bush-combing operations across identified flashpoints.
Police say the intense pressure mounted by the joint security team forced the kidnappers to abandon the victim, who was subsequently rescued unharmed.
The victim was immediately taken to hospital for medical attention and has since been discharged in stable condition.
