Oyo State Police Command has arrested three people suspected to have been behind the recent kidnap of the Chairman of Iganna Local Council Development Area of Oyo State, Olayiwola Adeleke.

The state Governor, Seyi Makinde, disclosed this on Monday while addressing policemen at the Command Headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan.

Although the Command has not made the details of the arrest public, Makinde commended them for a job well done.

Adeleke was kidnapped with his driver along Iseyin-Ado Awaye -Okeho road, on Sunday, October 25, on his way to Ibadan for a scheduled meeting with Governor Seyi Makinde.

The sum of N200 million was reportedly placed on the kidnapped council boss as ransom.

The duo was, however, released on Friday, October 30.  It has not confirmed if any ransom was paid to facilitate their release.
