According to sources, the incident occurred on Tuesday night while the ASP was about to enter his house in Ogidi community after the close of work.

It was also gathered that the Commissioner of Police, Paul Odama, had since visited the community following the development, just as heavy patrol of police officers were noticed around the community.

Speaking on the development, a local in the area, Jamiu Abdulganiy, said that the development had thrown the community into fear and apprehension; “when a police officer can be brazenly kidnapped.”

Also speaking on the incident, the Kwara State secretary of the community Policing Advisory Committee, Shola Muse, said the development had again brought to the fore, the growing insecurity in the state, adding that the situation is getting worse.
