The operatives of the Oyo State Security Network otherwise known as Amotekun Corps, on Tuesday foiled a kidnap attempt of a Chinese man, who was working on a site at Ayanma area, along Egbonron village, in Iganna town in Ibarapa geo-political zone of Oyo state.
The operatives thwarted the kidnap attempt in collaboration with local hunters in Iganna town, following an information from one of the vigilantes working at the site.
It was gathered that the Amotekun operatives swung into action following the tip off.
After a gun duel with the kidnappers, men of the security outfit were able to overpower the abductors and killed one of them while two of the kidnappers were later arrested and four escaped with gun shot injuries.
It was learnt that one AK-47 rifle was recovered. The corpses and other items recovered from the abductors have been handed over to the police.(Courtesy, excluding headline, Daily Independent)
