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.
