Police thwart abduction attempt on Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, rescue victim


 Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command have foiled a suspected abduction attempt along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, rescuing the victim unhurt and restoring calm to the area.

The incident occurred on Saturday, 26th July, 2026, at about 7:10 p.m. at Onigaari area of the expressway.

Confirming the development to DAILY POST on Tuesday, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, said operatives of the Command’s Safer Highway Patrol Team were on routine confidence-building patrol when they heard gunshots from the area.

According to Babaseyi, the swift response and tactical presence of the police forced the hoodlums to abandon their criminal mission and flee into the adjoining bush.

“The operatives immediately responded after hearing gunshots. Their swift intervention forced the suspects to abandon the victim and flee,” Babaseyi said.

The PRO stated that the victim was rescued unhurt and escorted to the Ogunmakin Police Post alongside his vehicle for safety and necessary police procedures.

Babaseyi noted that normalcy was immediately restored, and efforts are ongoing to apprehend the fleeing suspects.

The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, CP Bode Ojajuni, commended the professionalism, courage and vigilance displayed by the operatives involved in both operations.

Ojajuni stated that the successes reflect the Command’s enhanced operational capacity and unwavering resolve to respond swiftly to distress calls and decisively confront all forms of criminality.

The CP reassured residents that the Command remains firmly in control of the security situation across Ogun State and will continue to strengthen intelligence gathering, visibility policing, strategic patrols, and coordinated tactical operations to sustain public peace and safety.

He urged members of the public to remain vigilant and support the police with timely information through the Gateway Shield platform, assuring that every actionable report will receive prompt attention.
