The wife of Hakeem Odumosu, a retired assistant inspector-general of police (AIG), has been abducted by “masked men” in Ogun state.
The victim was reportedly whisked away at about 9:55 pm on Thursday by four masked men while entering her home in Arepo, Obafemi Owode LGA of the state.
The abductors took the former AIG’s wife through a swampy area to an unknown destination after dragging her out of her Lexus Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).
Meanwhile, the police command in Ogun says it has deployed officers to investigate the incident.
