Two kidnapped, one rescued in Ogun
Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have invaded a Celestial Church in Ogun State, abducting two worshippers identified as Oladapo Seyifunmi and Oluboboye Abiola.
In a statement by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Omolola Odutola, on Friday, she said the incident reportedly happened at the church located near Oriyarin village, Mowe, in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State on Thursday, March 28, 2024.
She revealed that the perpetrators of the abduction fled through a thick forest behind the church.
“The Commissioner of Police, Alamutu Abiodun, has been briefed, and he has ordered immediate mobilisation of security personnel to go after the hoodlums,” the statement read.
However, in a follow-up statement on her Facebook page, Odutola announced that one of the two abducted worshippers had been rescued after a relentless combing of the forest by police officers.
She identified the freed captive as Oladapo Seyifunmi, the Shepherd of the Celestial Church.
“We are pleased to inform members of the public that one Oladapo Oluwaseyifunmi, Shepherd of the Celestial Church kidnapped, has been rescued through the relentless combing of the forest by policemen, hunters, VGN, Amotekun. He has been reunited with his family,” Odutola stated.
