THE Inspector General of Police, Mr Mohammed Abubakar, has deployed crack team of detectives from the Force Headquarters in Abuja to fish out the suspected abductors of an industrialist and founder of Yinka Oba Foam, Chief (Mrs) Yinka Obaleye and secure her freedom.

Briefing the media, in Osogbo, on Thursday, the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) in charge of Zone 11, comprising Osun, Oyo and Ondo states, Mr David Omojola, said the Police would soon apprehend the suspected kidnappers.

Chief (Mrs) Obaleye was allegedly kidnapped by gunmen about three weeks ago at the frontage of her foam industry in Ilesa, Osun State, around 7.15p.m shortly after she left her office at the end of work for the day.

According to Omojola, “We are absolutely committed to tackling  cases of kidnap in Osun. The IGP is also interested in assisting Zone 11 in its operation. He has already deployed crack team of detectives from Abuja to fish out the kidnappers of Chief Obaleye and very soon, the woman would regain her freedom.”

Speaking on the forthcoming 2014 governorship poll in Osun, the Police boss said “we have set necessary machinery in motion to ensure peaceful conduct of the election. No stone would be left unturned in the preparation for the election.”
