In a joint operation, the Nigerian Navy and the Ondo State Security Network Agency, known as Amotekun Corps, successfully rescued Jethro Onose and his father, Maliki Onose, who were kidnapped by gunmen in Ondo State.
The duo was abducted while returning to the Nigerian Navy Secondary School, Imeri, in Ose LGA, after a three-week holiday.
Commander Adetunji Adeleye of the Amotekun Corps confirmed the successful rescue operation on Wednesday morning.
He detailed that extensive searches were conducted across the forest areas with cooperation from the navy, leading to the safe recovery of the student and his father from the kidnappers’ den.
“Both the father and his son are now safe and have reunited with their family,” Commander Adeleye reported, providing relief to the community and the family involved.
Damilola Ogunrotimi, Chairman of the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) at the Navy Secondary School, also verified the release and expressed gratitude towards the efforts of the security forces in ensuring the safety of the school’s community.
The successful operation highlights the effective collaboration between local security forces in addressing kidnapping challenges in the region.
