According to a report by Sahara Reporters, a senior police officer of the Kwara State Police Command, Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Modestus Ojiebe was kidnapped by some gunmen in Abuja, along Kubwa expressway.
The incident, which was confirmed by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, occurred on Sunday night, near Dei-Dei Barracks, when the police officer’s Toyota Corolla car broke down on the road while en route with his wife.
He was trying to fix his car when a company of four armed men in a Mercedes-Benz approached them.

The armed men robbed him and his wife, taking their ATM cards and mobile phones, and took off with the man in their vehicle, leaving the wife and the broken car, after discovering from his identity card that he was a police officer.
The wife reached out immediately to the FCT police command, which promptly sent a patrol team and alerted checkpoints at key entry and exit points in Abuja.
CSP Ojiebe was later rescued and reunited with his family, while the assailants escaped into a bush in Garaku, Nasarawa State.
A search has been launched to apprehend the suspects, as Commissioner of Police Olatunji Disu, psc, urged residents of the FCT to remain vigilant and report any suspicious individuals or activities immediately by calling the police emergency line at 08032003913.
