- Oyelade said the security agencies in the State are always ready to check any security breach and criminal activities.
A pastor of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Olugbenga Olawore, has regained his freedom from the kidnappers who abducted him.
Within Nigeria had reported on Saturday how Olawore was kidnapped alongside 14 others on Thursday at the Maya area of Lanlate-Eruwa Road in Oyo State.
The state Commissioner for Information, Dotun Oyelade, announced the release of Olawore in a statement in Ibadan, the state capital, on Sunday.
Oyelade said the security agencies in the State are always ready to check any security breach and criminal activities.
It’s, however, unclear if other persons abducted alongside Olawore have also regained their freedom.
He said, “Our people should rest assured that our security apparatuses in the state are fully alive and alert to their responsibilities.
“The state government is monitoring and gauging the security situations within its boundary efficiently.
“Since the incident was reported, the government has been in close contact with the state Commissioner of Police, Hamzat Adebola, his team and our security teams and all parties have done the needful as usual to ensure the safety of lives and property of our citizens,” he emphasised.
Oyelade reiterated that Oyo State remained the most peaceful state in the country.
All efforts to get the state Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso’s reactions were unsuccessful as his mobile number was not reachable as of press time
