It was gathered that the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, led the operation that saw to the rescue of the retired AIG’s wife.
Force spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, disclosed Folashade’s rescue to Channels Television in a telephone conversation on Thursday.
During the operation, the kidnappers were neutralised.

The Force spokesman reiterated the commitment of the Nigeria Police to safeguard Nigerians and the nation.
