— Command promises prosecution

By Dayo Johnson, Akure

Residents of Ode-Irele, headquarters of Irele Local Government Area of Ondo State, have expressed concern over the failure of the police to disclose the identities of suspects arrested in connection with the abduction of Mrs. Morenike Falona, wife of prominent chief and businessman, Chief Babatunde Falona.

Mrs. Falona was abducted at gunpoint from her residence on June 15, 2026, in the presence of her husband and other family members.

She was rescued three days later, on June 18, 2026, from a bush in Ijuosun through the combined efforts of security agencies and the cooperation of the Ikale, Apoi and Ijaw-Arogbo communities.
