“It is unfortunate that we, the youths could not rescue Odimayo alive despite our efforts to locate the kidnappers’ den. Currently, we are mourning his painful death,” the source added.
A youth in the community however blamed the marine police for their inability to rescue
“If the security agencies mostly the marine police in the area had put more energy in the search of the kidnapped victim and work with local vigilante group, maybe he would have been rescued alive.
“The victim (Odimayo) arrived from London not too long ago before he was kidnapped. He is not too familiar with the terrain of the water, he might have died as a result of the stress during his abduction.”
Meanwhile, Femi Joseph, the Police Public Relations Officer in Ondo state command could not immediately be reached for his reaction.
However, in his reaction, the All Progressives Congress (APC) spokesman in the Ondo state, Omo’ba Abayomi Adesanya, expressed his shock at death of Odimayo.

“I can’t get myself as I am speaking with you. Although, our party members have been sending their condolences to his family but his death is very painful to us all,” he said.
But according to a source, members of the local vigilante group have also arrested two persons suspected to be in connection with the kidnap of Odimayo.
