Oyo State Police
Command has rescued a Lagos-based businessman, Alhaji Abdul Akeem Amoo, who was
kidnapped by some yet-to-be-identified men around the Oluyole Local Government
Area of Ibadan, Oyo state.
He was on Sunday
afternoon rescued by a police patrol team at Idi-Ayunre in the same local
government area of the state.
The 54-year-old
businessman, according to police sources, was kidnapped during a visit to his
quarry and mining firm located at Ese-Apata via Abanla in the area. He had gone
to the site with a view to paying some of his staff at the quarry and some of
the contractors supplying him diesel and those rendering him supplementary
services.
The police source
added that Alhaji Amoo had the sum of N2 million in the boot of the blue Honda
Accord car he rode to the site. It was meant to settle the various payments he
intended to make.
As the victim got to
the site, 10 hoodlums reportedly pounced on him and inflicted several injuries
on him before forcing him and one of his employees whose name is given as,
Adeleke Yahaya, into an unmarked Toyota Hillux Van.
Alhaji Amoo’s hands
were also said to have been tied before he and Adeleke were sandwiched among
the suspected kidnappers before being driven away.
