The So-Safe Corps in Ogun State has detained two guys for allegedly kidnapping a herdsman.
The herder, simply known as Oseni, was allegedly abducted on January 20 while grazing his cows in Olorunda-Lukosi, Iro, in the Owode-Egba Local Government Area, according to the corps.
The So-Safe spokesman, Moruf Yusuf, stated that it was discovered that the alleged kidnappers had promptly deprived their victim of N130,000 and the paperwork for his motorbike.
After a successful operation, the alleged kidnappers, according to Yusuf, wanted an N4 million ransom before they would release Oseni.

The two alleged kidnappers were arrested as a result of the So-Safe Corps patrol team’s quick action, but others remain at large despite a thorough search of the area, according to Obasanjonews24.
The accused were named by Yusuf as Mohammed Lawal, age 20, of the Sharagi Area of Karaoke, and Sarafa Asimiu, age 25, of the Amusa Yusuf residence in Oke-Aje, Ibadan.
After preliminary questioning of the accused kidnappers, the So-Safe Corps Commander for Ogun State, Soji Ganzallo, ordered that the suspects be turned over to the police.
The unharmed kidnapped herdsman, according to Ganzallo, has also been turned over to the police at Iro Post.
