The prompt response of the patrol team from Oru Ijebu played a pivotal role in their rescue. Subsequently, the teenagers were taken to the police station for their safety.
During an interview with the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Mathew Ediae, the teenagers revealed that they were on their way to play football when they were forcibly taken.
Odutola further explained that the police had made efforts to contact the parents of the victims.
“The parents, who had been desperately searching for their children throughout the day, received a call from the DPO informing them that the teenagers have been safely located and are in the custody of the police.”
The teenagers will soon be reunited with their families after the necessary identification processes have been completed.
