The Commandant of the Amotekun Corps in Oyo State, Col. Olayinka Olayanju (retd.), has explained how security agents foiled a kidnap attempt which happened on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Friday.
He said some security agents who were coming from Lagos towards Ibadan were said to have run into the scene and engaged the kidnappers in a gun duel and eventually drove them away after foiling the attempt.
He said, “The kidnap attempt occurred at Imolisa village and which is within the territory of Ogun State although it is not far from Dominion University which is located within Oyo State. “I was told that the security agents had travelled to Lagos Airport to pick up their boss and were returning when they ran into the incident.
“They were said to have exchanged fire with the criminals but eventually repelled them and chased them away before they could whisk away their targets.”
