Men of the Ondo State Security Network codenamed Amotekun Corps have arrested four suspected kidnappers and rescued their victims.

Commander of Amotekun in Ondo state, Adetunji Adeleye, said the kidnappers had missed their target, a businessman living around the Oda road area last Friday but resorted to abducting three persons who were taking shelter from the rain at a bus stop in the area.

He said two of the victims were rescued but the kidnappers reportedly changed location and held on to the remaining victim demanding ransom payment.

Adeleye noted that It was in the course of collecting the ransom that one Usman Garuba was arrested by Amotekun operatives.

The Amotekun Commander noted that other security agencies joined in the rescue operation.
