Easter: Amotekun rescues road travellers in Osun

 


Two travelers were rescued by operatives of the Osun Western Security Network Agency in the early hours of Sunday morning along the Ife-Ilesa route in Osun State.


The victims, Bakare Ibraheem and Eric Esoha, were ambushed and kidnapped by armed robbers while traveling to Ilesa to deliver some merchandise, according to Amitolu Shittu, the Field Commander of Osun Amotekun.


According to Shittu, “The hoodlums stopped the vehicle around 12:15 am and ordered the driver and the person sitting beside him to alight from the vehicle. The driver tried to escape from the scene, but they got him and cut him with a machete and stabbed him.


“Our men responded to a distress call, gave the criminals a chase to their den where the victims were rescued but their abductors fled from the scene.


“The rescue operation was carried out by Amotekun personnel attached to Ife. Right now, they are on the trail of the armed robbers and we assure that they would be apprehended.”


The Field Commander explained that the agency decided to go after the armed robbers in order to reassure the residents of the State that the outfit would stop at nothing in ensuring that criminals were chased away from the State.
