The Ondo State Police Command has officially smashed a notorious criminal syndicate responsible for the targeted abduction of two underage schoolchildren in Ore, the administrative headquarters of the Odigbo Local Government Area.
The coordinated breakthrough was made public on Thursday by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Abayomi Jimoh, who confirmed the strategic arrest of five key male suspects following an intensive, intelligence-led operation executed by the state's Special Anti-Kidnapping Squad.
The original security breach occurred on May 12, 2026, when two young brothers—Jehu, aged 10, and Yohana, aged 5—were forcefully intercepted by armed elements in the Jerry Sawmill neighborhood of Ore while walking to their local school.

Following an official distress report lodged at 9:00 a.m. by the children's father, Andrew Yohana, detectives deployed digital tracking analysis and advanced technical intelligence.
The tactical sweep led operatives to a hideout in the Alaba area of Ore, resulting in the immediate arrest of Taofeek Lukman (23) and Blessing Saturday (27). Follow-up cross-examinations exposed three additional inner-ring syndicate members: Peter Moses (25), Sunday Isaac (23), and Sanusi Dan Asabe (37).
Police operatives successfully recovered the sum of N251,000, definitively verified to be a portion of the ransom cash extorted from the victims' family before the kids were freed.
State Commissioner of Police, Felix Ohagwu, highly commended the squad’s absolute professionalism and reassured residents that the suspects would be swiftly arraigned in a court of competent jurisdiction upon the conclusion of remaining administrative investigations.
