Suspected gunmen have killed an officer of the So-Safe Corps, Sofolahan Olanrewaju, who was attached to the Oke-Ogun division of the Ogun State-owned security agency.
It was gathered that the gunmen, suspected to be kidnappers, stormed the Garden of Comfort Lodging, Bar and Event Centre, at Soyoye, Abeokuta North Local Government Area of the state.
The spokesman for the corps, Moruf Yusuf, confirmed the incident on Monday.
According to him, “On Sunday, August 7, 2022, around 9.50pm, a team of yet-to-be-identified kidnap syndicate carried out their dastardly act at Garden of Comfort Lodging, Bar and Event Centre, Soyoye, Abeokuta. They succeeded in kidnapping and escaping with a female victim.
“Unfortunately, they shot one of the officers of the So-Safe Corps, Sofolahan Olanrewaju, who was at his duty post.
