Vanguard reliably gathered that the police and local vigilantes are on the trail of the suspected kidnappers.
The kidnappers were said to have ambushed the men as they suddenly emerged from the bush along the highway.
All efforts to get reaction from the TRACE spokesman, Babatunde Akinbiyi, proved abortive, as he did not pick calls put across to his phone.
But, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident.

“We are combing the forest and we know that they will all be arrested. Ogun State is not a ground for criminals to settle. It is either they leave or we smoke them out of this State,” Oyeyemi stated.
