The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, on Sunday confirmed the abduction of six marketers working for a Lagos-based real estate firm at Oyebola village in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state.
According to Punch Online, CP Ogunlowo disclosed the development during a telephone interview with its correspondent.
A resident of a neighbouring community, who spoke on condition of anonymity, had earlier alerted the newspaper to the attack, which occurred on Friday.
Confirming the incident, CP Ogunlowo said the marketers were kidnapped while on an inspection visit to the company’s land in the area.
“So, they brought some marketers from Lagos to come and see the land so that they can have the requisite information to market the land for the members of the public who are interested.
“It was during their visit to this land that the six people were abducted. It happened on Friday, and the command had been on it since, and we shall definitely ensure that these people regain their freedom,” the Police CP stated.
