Operatives of the Ondo State Security Network Agency, also known as Amotekun, have rescued three nurses abducted by terrorists at a primary health centre in Akure, the Ondo State capital.
The Corps Commander, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, confirmed the development at the agency’s headquarters, saying the health workers were freed at around 4:30 a.m. on Saturday.
Adeleye also confirmed the rescue of a 45-year-old man and his 15-year-old son, who were abducted on Friday evening in Pelebe community along Oda Road, Akure. He said:
“The man and his son were kidnapped between 7:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. yesterday (Friday). Our operatives rescued them at about 1:00 a.m. following a heavy confrontation with the kidnappers.
“The three health workers abducted earlier were also rescued at about 4:30 a.m. and are currently receiving treatment at the Amotekun health facility.”
Reports indicate that armed bandits stormed the government-owned primary health centre in the Oke Ijebu area at around 2 a.m., abducting the nurses on duty.
According to a patient at the facility, the attackers arrived in a bus, forcefully entered the centre, and took the victims, while other health workers managed to escape. The abductees were reportedly packed into the bus and driven to an unknown location.
The Amotekun commander reassured residents that the safety of lives and property remains a top priority for the state government.
He urged the public to provide timely and accurate information to security agencies, emphasising the importance of collective efforts in enhancing safety across the state.
Favor As Higher Power?
(The hidden truth)
Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
