The woman identified simply as Mrs. Odumosu A. was kidnapped around 9:55pm at her residence by four armed masked men.
As ‘The Nation’ reports, the kidnappers were said to have waylaid the woman and dragged her off her Lexus Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) as she was about to enter her residence at Aminu street.
They were said to have taken her through the swamps to an unknown destination.
Confirming the incident, spokesperson for Ogun State Police Command, CSP Omolola Odutola said the Commissioner of Police (CP) Lanre Ogunlowo has ordered discreet operations aimed towards ensuring her safe rescue.
Asked if the woman kidnapped was the wife of retired Assistant Inspector General (AIG) Hakeem Odumosu, Odutola said she was not aware of that information, adding that all she knew was that the victim was identified as one Mrs. Odumosu.
“The retired AIG has not come forward to say his wife was kidnapped. I don’t know where the press got the information and I cannot confirm an information that I do not have.
” I can tell you that all efforts are on to ensure the woman’s safe rescue.
“The incident was reported at the Warewa Police Division and officers were immediately deployed to the swampy bushes to search for the woman.
“The CP, Lanre Ogunlowo PhD has been briefed and all covert operations have been deployed to assist with digital intelligence to ensure she is rescued unhurt,” she said.
