Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Ogun State Council has commended the operatives of Ogun State Police Command on the rescue of one of its members, Oduneye Olusegun, who works for Issues Magazine.
Premier World News reports that Oduneye Olusegun was kidnapped by some gunmen on Thursday 9th of March, 2023 around 7:50pm at Mobalufon area of Ijebu Ode.
It was gathered that the Chairman of the Union in Ogun State, Comrade Wale Olanrewaju with other members, after receiving the distress call from the family, swung into action by meeting the State Commissioner of Police in the state, CP Frank Mba, who also made calls to the DSS office, as well as the Nigeria Security Civil Defence Corps to inform them.
CP Frank Mba commanded the Anti Kidnapping Unit of the Police Command in conjunction with the DPO Obalende Divisional Headquarters to give the case immediate and urgent attention, which later gave a good result.
While appreciating the security agencies for rescuing the kidnapped journalist, the secretary of Ogun NUJ, Comrade Bunmi Adigun said, “the joint effort of the Police, DSS and NSCDC really helped, and the Union appreciates this success”.
“It is no gain saying that the Security Architecture in Ogun state is formidable and this has given every indigene of the state to sleep with their two eyes closed knowing fully well that our security operates are always at work”.
“We want to tell the world that our man was rescued unhurt but on the other hand, appeal to our members to always be security conscious and avoid late night movements, if not necessary”, Adigun concluded.
