The Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer said in Ibadan on Monday that the command was working hard to rescue kidnapped Rev Biodun Ogunbeku from his abductors.
Ogunbeku of the Methodist Church of Nigeria, Akobo-Ojurin, Diocese of Agodi, Ibadan, was kidnapped on Thursday by five gunmen.
He was kidnapped at his farm in Kufi, along Olounda-Aba Road in Ibadan at about 7 p.m.
Spokesman for the Oyo State Police Command, Adekunle Ajisebutu, who declined to state whether ransom was demanded by the abductors, however, said the police were on top of the situation.
The spokesperson said that the command was doing what it could to locate the hideout of the suspects.
He said that investigations were ongoing and that the commissioner of police would brief journalists as soon as investigations were completed.
Amos Ajiboye, the diocesan bishop of the Methodist Church Nigeria, Diocese of Agodi, Ibadan, had said that the kidnappers were yet to contact the Church or the family of the victim.
