It was in the course of collecting ransom that one Usman Garuba was arrested by Amotekun operatives.
Usman took security operatives to their hideouts where others were arrested and the remaining female victim was rescued.
Speaking with newsmen, Ondo Amotekun Commander, Chief Adetunji Adeleye, said other security agencies joined in the rescue operation.
“We were able to rescue two victims that same day but the kidnappers held onto to one. We sold a decoy to them of ransom payment and in the course of that we were able to nab one of them who led us to their hideouts and we arrested others.
“This Umar Garuba has confessed to carrying out other kidnapping activities.”
