Ogun Police Rescue Five Students from Kidnappers

Five students from Olabisi Onabanjo University were kidnapped on the Isara-Od road in Ogun State on Tuesday, April 28, 2026. The students were abducted by gunmen who threatened their lives and demanded a ransom of 20 million naira.

The kidnappers, described as Fulani men, forced the students to open their vehicle doors, stealing valuables and injuring one student. After a three-hour trek through thick bush, the victims managed to contact their families.

The Ogun State Police, led by DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, received information about the incident and deployed a patrol team to the scene, where they found the vehicle abandoned with visible bullet impacts and bloodstains. Following a gun duel with the kidnappers, the police successfully rescued the students without any casualties among the security forces.

Ogun State Police Commissioner Bode Ojajuni assured that safety measures would be implemented to protect students and staff in the state.
