The passengers were abducted on Sunday August 21, by gunmen posing as passengers.

One of the passengers told The Nation;

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the state police command, Yemisi Opalola, said;
“We rescued the passengers from kidnappers with the help of hunters. The passengers were forced into the bush at the boundary of Osogbo/Ilesha but were found at Brewery area inside Ilesha.”
