Oyo state chapters of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) on Friday announced the arrest of four suspected Kidnappers in Ibarapa, area of Oyo state.
The group under the supervision of the Oyo state coordinator of the Gani Adams-led OPC, comrade Rotimi Olumo, said that the security outfit arrested the second in command to the dreaded Kidnapper, Wakilu, Isiaka Muhammadu.
The arrest was made around 1pm on Friday, while the OPC was on a search mission for the dreaded Wakilu that had been terrorising the entire area.
Muhammadu, who was arrested around 5pm had given vital information that might lead to the arrest of the kingpin.
The suspected Kidnappers had been a thorn in the flesh of the residents of the community.
The four suspects have been handed over to the police and they are presently at the Ago ranger, Civil Defence headquarters in Igbo Ora.
Meanwhile, the search mission, according to the coordinator, is still on going as the OPC was determined to rid the entire southwest of kidnappers and other criminal elements in the southwest.
The development was part of the success recorded through the recent southwest security Stakeholders Group (SSSG) held in Lagos.
“We are determined to rid the southwest of criminal elements, including kidnappers and bandits, we are always ready to complement the efforts of the police and the southwest security Network (Amotekun) in the state, and we will not relent in this efforts” Olumo said.
