Army move into Kidnappers' hide-out in Ondo for operation

The troops of 32 Artillery Brigade, Akure on Thursday commenced a three-day intensive Clearance Operation at kidnappers hideouts within Owo and Ose Local Government areas.

The spots are notorious of various nefarious activities such as collection of ransoms from kidnap victims, rape and other sundry crimes.

The Operation according to the Assistant Director, Army Public Relations, Major Ojo Adenegan was aimed at ensuring safety of travellers along Owo and Ose roads.

It is also to complement the ongoing efforts of the joint security agencies in the State to curtail the activities of kidnappers and other criminal elements.

Adenegan said” You will recall that some kidnap victims were released a few days back after a shoot-out with some of the kidnappers and also the arrest of two suspects who are currently undergoing interrogation.

He urged the public within these localities not to panic as the massive deployment is to checkmate the activists of these hoodlums while creating a conducive environment for the communities to carry out their legitimate activities.

According to him, all useful information on the movements of the kidnappers and their collaborators should be forwarded to the following emergency numbers: 09030002151 09030002161.
