Battling the Rescue of Kidnapped Chinese Miners in Osun State

The Police Command in Osun says it has intensified efforts to rescue three Chinese miners allegedly abducted by some labourers on a mining site in Akere Village near Ifewara, Osun.

The command's spokesman, SP Yemisi Opalola, who confirmed abduction of the Chinese miners to Newsmen on Thursday, said that the incident happened on Monday.

Opalola also confirmed that a policeman attached to the expatriates was killed in the cause of the kidnapping.

The police spokesman, however, clarified that the late police officer was not from the command.

She said that the kidnapped expatriates would soon be rescued and the perpetrators brought to book.
