Families of three nurses abducted by suspected ritual killers on the Orin- Ido Road, were full of gratitude to God after local hunters and policemen who combed the forest where the nurses were held captive and rescued them.
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Victor Babayemi, said two other men kept by the abductors were also freed.
It was gathered that the hunters who knew the terrain, worked in synergy with the police to make the operation successful. Now, that’s the importance and essence of community policing. Something other policemen should begin to key into.
Babayemi, however, said none of the abductors was arrested owing to some reasons. He said: “The local hunters were the ones leading our men to the place where those abducted were being kept.
Unfortunately, while they were close to the spot, the local hunters started shooting and that was why the abductors were able to run away.” The PPRO said the police also recovered the Toyota Camry car in which the nurses were travelling before they were abducted.
On the fate of the Director of Administration, Ado Local Government Area, Mr Tayo Olawuyi, who was kidnapped on Monday last week, Babayemi said his whereabouts were still not known. He said Olawuyi’s abductors were yet to make any contact with his family.
