Apart from Ondo, there has also been an increasing rate of kidnapping on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway with the latest incidents recorded on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The South-West security outfit, Amotekun, in conjunction with the Nigerian police and other security agencies has arrested no fewer than 38 suspected kidnappers and gunmen, who have been disturbing the peace in Ondo State.
About a week earlier, some travellers, including a former Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Prof Adigun Agbaje, and a student of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, Ogun State, were abducted close to the Sat Guru Maharaji Garden in Ibadan, Oyo State capital. They were not released until their relatives paid ransom to the kidnappers.
“As I speak with you, our men are combing the forests and ensuring that the criminal elements are possibly arrested or chased out of the state. We have made some breakthroughs.”
