Dare, along with his aides and two Kogi State University students, was kidnapped on the Okene/Kabba road. However, Dare managed to escape after a few hours when the kidnappers abandoned him due to his inability to keep pace.

The three aides—Omonisaiye Andrew, Mr. Olorundare Ojo (a councillorship candidate for Egbeda ward in Kabba/Bunu LGA), and Sunday Ajayi (the All Progressives Congress Youth leader in Egbeda ward)—were freed along with four others who had been held captive for 12 days.

Dare expressed his gratitude to God and thanked Kogi State Governor Usman Ododo for his swift action. He also commended the Nigerian Army, Police, DSS, and local hunters for their efforts in securing the release of the kidnapped individuals.

“I am deeply thankful for the courage and bravery of all those involved in the rescue,” Dare said. He also praised the people of Kabba Bunu LGA and the state for their prayers, which he believes contributed to the successful release.

The kidnapped individuals were found near the Oyo mining site at Obajana. Dare urged security agencies to continue searching the surrounding forests for further discoveries.
