The Ogun State Police Command has announced the killing of two suspected kidnappers allegedly linked to the abduction of the Prince of Okun Owa, Prince Idris, following an intelligence-led operation in the Agoro/Imodi axis of the state.
The police said the operation came days after the victim regained his freedom unharmed following sustained pressure mounted on the kidnapping gang.
According to a statement issued on Thursday by the Public Relations Officer of the Command, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, Prince Idris was abducted on June 30, 2026, at about 7:30pm after armed men reportedly invaded his residence in Okun Owa and whisked him away.
Babaseyi said that upon receiving the report of the abduction, the Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, directed the immediate activation of the Command Anti-Kidnapping Unit, supported by other tactical teams, to secure the victim's release and arrest those responsible.
