Lagos, Ogun Police Rescue 5 Kidnap Victims, Arrest 92

During "Operation Kósàyè," a joint police taskforce from Lagos and Ogun states arrested 92 suspects and rescued five victims of kidnapping. The operation, coordinated by the Ogun and Lagos State Police Commands and led by Bode Ojajuni, aimed to combat violent crime along the Lagos-Ogun corridor.

The taskforce dismantled criminal camps hidden in the Iperu forest, recovering weapons including AK-47 rifles and local-made pistols. The operation was launched under the directive of Inspector General of Police Olatunji Disu, with logistical support from Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun.

The police confirmed that four kidnappers were neutralized during a gun battle, and no known victims are currently held captive in the operational area. One of the rescued victims, Nsofor Amachi, was abducted while traveling to attend her father's burial.

The operation will continue until criminal elements are completely denied access to the forests.
