The Police in Ogun state Friday rescued three farmworkers of former President Olusegun Obasanjo from kidnappers three days after being abducted.

The Police Spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, made this known in Abeokuta on Friday.

The workers were kidnapped on Wednesday evening at Seseri Village while returning from work.

The farm is located in Kobape area in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state.

The police said the release followed “a serious pressure mounted on the kidnappers”.

Mr Oyeyemi said that the anti-kidnapping operatives had been on the trail of the abductors.

According to him, the squad had continued combing bushes around the area since the incident happened.

“Yes, we mounted a lot of pressure on the kidnappers. Since yesterday (Thursday), our anti-kidnapping operatives have been in the bush searching for them.

“They were able to trace them to the bush behind the Day Waterman College, along the Kobape Road. This evening, they released them (victims) unhurt without any ransom,” he said.

On whether there was an arrest, Mr Oyeyemi said, “not yet, but we are very sure that we will make arrests soon.”
