A day before the rescue, there was a reported kidnapping along a well-known route. Our team swiftly mobilised and, in collaboration with hunters, we combed the forest where the victims were believed to be held. By the end of the day, we successfully rescued four people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat made this operation particularly significant was the identification of two of the arrested suspects. These are no longer suspected kidnappers\u2014they are confirmed kidnappers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Amotekun head went on to state that the victims recognised the suspects as the same people responsible for prior abductions in the area, stating, \u201cThese criminals had been arrested before but nevertheless managed to return to the same location. \u201cNow we have them again.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<div data-advadstrackid=\"941128\" data-advadstrackbid=\"1\" class=\"infor-target\" id=\"infor-767005198\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/FirstBank-Giant-Strides300x250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ondo State Security Network Agency, Amotekun Corps, has detained two suspected kidnappers who allegedly abducted four travelers along the Owo\/Benin motorway in the state\u2019s Ose Local Government Area.
