Kwara State Police Command on Thursday said efforts were being made to rescue the kidnapped Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Abdulmumini Yusuf.

This was contained in a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, Ajayi Okasanmi, which formally confirmed the abduction of the officer.

The PPRO, however, said the abduction will not diminish the resolve of the Command to protect lives and property of the citizens.

“Kwara Command is tirelessly working towards rescuing the abducted Assistant Superintendent of police even as the motive of the abduction is still sketchy. The incident, as serious as it is, has not diminished the resolve of the command to protect lives/property of the citizens,” the statement reads.

WesternPost gathered that Yusuf was kidnapped by suspected gunmen on Tuesday night while going home after the close of work in Ogidi, Ilorin-West Local Government Area of the state.
