SaharaReporters had reported how the South-West security outfit, Amotekun, in conjunction with the Nigerian police and other security agencies had arrested no fewer than 38 suspected kidnappers, as kidnapping continues to rise across South-West states.
Apart from Ondo, there has also been an increasing rate of kidnapping on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway with the latest incidents recorded last week.
Last Wednesday, gunmen emerged from the bush and attacked travellers, dispossessing them of their valuables before they fled back into the forest.
A Lagos-bound 18-passenger bus was also attacked close to the Sagamu interchange. The incident left some passengers with varying degrees of injury.
