He also said that the police team, led by Area Commander, Moniya, gave the chase and the vehicle allegedly used for the kidnap of Dayo was recovered in a bush.
“We have continued to give a serious manhunt for the rescue of the victim.
“The anti-kidnapping squad, police patrol men among others have been deployed so that the young man can be rescue,” the PPRO said.
