The Ogun State Police Command has linked two suspects arrested in the Ijebu-Ode area of the state to a kidnapping and murder case under investigation in the Okada area of Edo State.

The command disclosed this in a statement issued on Saturday by its spokesperson, Oluseyi Babaseyi, noting that the suspects were arrested following intelligence-driven investigations by operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit.

Babaseyi noted that the breakthrough came following an earlier report that personnel of the Nigeria Forest Security Service apprehended two suspicious persons in the Atiba area of Ijebu-Ode, prompting the police to commence investigations into their activities.

Giving an update on the case, Babaseyi identified the suspects as Gafaru Adamu, 25, and Muhammed Sanni, 20.
