The mother and son were reportedly abducted in the Ota Efun area of Osogbo Saturday evening by some unknown people, said to be carrying arms.

Meanwhile, the kidnappers called the husband, a staff of the state broadcasting station, OSBC, using the wife’s phone.

According to family sources, they were released Sunday evening in Ikirun by their abductors.

It was learnt that after the incident was reported at the state Police Command, the mobile phone of the victim was tracked to Ikirun, another town in the state by the operatives.
