Operatives of Ondo State Security Network Agency, code-named Amotekun, have rescued the remaining three people who were kidnapped last Wednesday in the state.
“I can confirm to you that we have rescued the three remaining victims and they will be reunited with their families today,” Adetunji Adeleye, Amotekun commander in Ondo State, told newsmen on Saturday.
Nine of the victims had earlier been rescued on Thursday, after Amotekun operatives went after the kidnappers, he noted.
The victims were travelling to Lagos from Ifira-Akoko in Akoko South-East Local Government Area of the state when they were kidnapped by gunmen.
The incident occurred at the bad portion of Idoani-Ifira road in Akoko South-East council area.
Mr Adeleye said that the victims would be reunited with their family members later today (Saturday).
