Asp.Ahmed Yusuf
By Dada Ahmed.
The Police Command in Kogi State says ASP Ahmed Yusuf of Inspector General of Police,IGP,Monitoring Team, attached to the Police Command and Kidnapped few days ago in Ilorin has been rescued unhurt.
SP Okasami Ajayi,Police Public Relations Officer,PPRO, for the Police Command in the state, disclosed this in a statement he signed and a copy made available to The Reporters oo Monday.
Ajayi,who recalled that Yusuf was abducted in his house in Oloje area of Ilorin on 11/10/2022 at about 2200hrs by six armed hoodlums, added that he was “rescued about 0230hrs today at a bush border between Kwara and Oyo state”.
He said:” The rescue effort was made possible by the insistence of the Commissioner of Police, Kwara State, CP Paul Odama,who declared that rescuing the kidnapped officer unhurt and possible arrest of the criminal abductors is a task that must be achieved.
“Consequently, the CP dispatched the Command’s Tactical Teams, local Vigilante and hunters with support of the Oyo State Amotekun squad.
“The efforts by the combined team yielded the expected result as the kidnappers escaped and abandoned the abducted ASP under severe pressure of being arrested.
“The moment they found out that the teams had formed a ring around their location, the victim thereafter sauntered to where the police teams were waiting for him and was rescued.”
Ajayi said the Commissioner of Police appreciated the efforts of the police and vigilante teams for the gallantry displayed in the efforts that ultimately led to the rescue of the ASP.
“The CP noted that his determination to make Kwara State inhabitable to criminal elements stands and that Kwara state would never be allowed to play host to criminal elements of whatever nomenclature.
“The ASP is currently undergoing medical examination and would be allowed to join his family as soon as he is confirmed fit by the police medical doctor,”he added.
According to the PPRO,effort is being intensified to get the abductors arrested for prosection.
