Purported arrest of two suspected kidnappers in Osun untrue ― CP

Published by

The Commissioner of Police in Osun State, Mrs. Abiodun Ige, on Monday, described as untrue the reported arrest of two suspected kidnappers in the state.

She maintained that the story was misleading, saying there was no arrest of two kidnappers in the state.

Reacting to the development during a chat with journalists in Osogbo, Ige cautioned the people against peddling rumour or any information capable of causing tension and unnecessary apprehension.

Her reaction came against the backdrop of the reported arrest of two Nigerien in Asa Ijesa by some local hunters.

Ige, however, explained that the two Nigerien, Goza Tontoli and Bobo Abayi arrested by local hunters were herbal medicine sellers.

According to her, the duo was arrested and brutalised by some residents as a result of alarm raised by one Sunday Ademola and Adeyeye Victor, who alleged that the foreigners had kidnapped their father.

Ige, further hinted that the allegation was later found to unfounded as their father was at home in Asa Ijesa, near Iperindo community.
