Photo: Amotekun Rescues Eight Kidnap Victims In Ondo
Operatives of the Ondo State Security Network Agency, codenamed Amotekun Corps, have rescued eight persons abducted by kidnappers in parts of the state following a successful operation against the criminals.
Some of the victims were kidnapped from the Ilado community in Akure North Local Government Area.
Among those rescued is Mr. Fagbonmire Durojaiye, a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and a teacher.
According to reports, the kidnappers had demanded a ransom of ₦30 million for the release of the victims.
However, the Ondo State Commander of the Amotekun Corps disclosed that the victims regained their freedom without the payment of any ransom.
The commander said the rescue operation followed an exchange of gunfire between Amotekun operatives and the kidnappers.
He explained that the operatives successfully overpowered the abductors and secured the release of all eight victims.
