The Police at Alakuko Division have rescued a
woman Mrs. Oluyemi Ogunmuyiwa and her
daughter Miss Oreoluwa Ogunmuyiwa from
kidnappers.
Mr. Ogunmuyiwa Akinwale told our reporter that
he was taking his family to the church around
8am on the fateful day when a commuter bus
with three occupants hit his vehicle from behind
and as he stopped to find out the extent of
damage done to his car, the driver of the bus
who gave his name as Olarewaju Makinde and
the other two occupants of the bus told him that
he should follow them to the mechanic to repair
the car.
Makinde, a native of Ake in Abeokuta resides at 6,
Eleran Bus-stop Ilogbo, Otta Ogun State.
Sensing that they might escape on their way, Mr.
Akinwale said he asked his wife and daughter to
enter the bus while he followed them from
behind. Choii and that was how they escaped
with them o, he said...
''To my amazement the speed at which the bus
was going, made me to suspect some foul play
and as I tried to catch up with them, I ran into a
ditch and one of my tyres burst. So, I stopped
one okada (commercial motorcyclist), while I was
shouting kidnappers and to the glory of God the
Police showed up and assisted me to chase them
to Idiroko area where my wife and child were
rescued.
''Two of the kidnappers escaped while one was
arrested. I really thank the police for their effort in
rescuing them for me.''
When our reporter visited Alakuko Police Station,
the bus was seen parked in the station and when
contacted, the Divisional Police Officer in charge
of Alakuko Mr. Ajayi Abayomi, a superintendent of
Police whom our reporter learnt led the rescue
operation, declined to speak on the incident and
directed him to the Lagos State Police Image
Maker Mr. Offor.
When contacted, Offor, a Deputy Superintendent
of Police (SP) promised to get back to our
reporter but never did as at the time of writing
this report.
