The Ogun State Police Command successfully rescued Prince Idris of Okun Owa, who had been abducted from his home on June 30, 2026. The Anti-Kidnapping Unit initiated a targeted operation following the 7:30 p.m. incident, applying significant pressure on the criminal group responsible.
DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, the Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed that Commissioner Bode Ojajuni ordered an immediate tactical response to secure the victim. This persistent pursuit resulted in the kidnappers releasing the Prince unharmed on July 3, 2026.
Authorities tracked the suspects to the Agoro/Imodi area using actionable intelligence. A shootout ensued when the criminals confronted law enforcement. Two suspects were killed in the exchange, while others fled the scene sustaining gunshot injuries. Officers recovered an AK-47 rifle, mobile devices, and items suspected to be related to ransom demands from the site.
The remains of the deceased have been taken to a morgue, and an active investigation continues to locate the remaining gang members. Commissioner Ojajuni praised the tactical teams for their professional conduct and urged citizens to continue providing information that helps maintain public safety.
