Breaking News: Nigerian Police Rescue Abducted Woman, Apprehend Four Suspects in Ondo
Police operatives in Ondo State have rescued a woman who was abducted along Weluwelu Street, Ilekun, on Oda Road in Akure, the state capital, and arrested four suspected kidnappers in connection with the incident.
The suspects were apprehended following the prompt response of police detectives to a distress call from a vigilant resident who witnessed the abduction.
According to reports, the victim was seized by four men driving an unregistered Toyota Camry at about 6:30 p.m. on the day of the incident.
Acting swiftly on the intelligence provided, operatives from the Ondo State Police Command immediately mobilised and mounted a coordinated interception along the suspects’ route.
Their quick action led to the successful arrest of all four assailants and the immediate rescue of the abducted woman, who was reportedly being taken to an undisclosed location before the intervention.
A source within the command confirmed that the suspects were overpowered after their vehicle was blocked by the police.
“The prompt coordination between the concerned citizen and the rapid response of the operatives was crucial in preventing what could have turned into another tragic abduction case,” the source said.
Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, SP Ayanlade Olayinka, stated that the unregistered Toyota Camry used in the operation had been recovered as evidence.
He added that the four suspects were in custody while investigations were ongoing to uncover further details and possible accomplices.
SP Olayinka commended the swift and professional response of the police team, while also appreciating the vigilant member of the public whose timely report helped thwart the abduction.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
