Ireoluwa Akinlaja, a 17-year-old kidnapped student of the Redeemers University, Osun State, has escaped from captivity.

The 17-year-old student was reportedly on his way to the Redemption camp to join his parents when he was kidnapped by some unknown persons around Sagamu Interchange, Ogun state.

It was gathered that Akinlaja sent a message to his mother, informing her that he has been kidnapped.

The police were informed and immediately swung into action in an effort to hunt down the hoodlums.

However, the 100-Level Mass Communication Student escaped from his abductors before security agents got to Ikorodu, where he was driven to.

Reacting, Governor Dapo Abiodun has vowed that “there will be no hiding place for criminals in the state.”

According to the statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin, on Monday the security operatives are still on the trail of the kidnappers.

He added that no effort would be spared to rid the state of undesirable elements.

Abiodun revealed that “the victim, who was kidnapped while on his way to the Redemption Camp on Lagos-Ibadan expressway, escaped from his abductors as security operatives swooped on their den, in Ikorodu, Lagos.”

He confirmed that “The victim, Akinlaja Ireoluwa Oluwatomiwa is a student of the Redeemers University in Osun State. He was on his way to join his parents when he was kidnapped.

“Our security men had trailed the kidnappers to Ikorodu, where the victim was being held, hostage. Their arrival on the scene had given an opportunity for the victim to escape from captivity.
