The Kwara State Police Command recently carried out a successful operation that led to the rescue of 13 kidnap victims.
NEWSPOINTER reports that the victims were abducted on December 21, 2024, by armed assailants while traveling to a wedding in Kogi State.
Our Reporter said acting on credible intelligence and supported by local informants, the police, in collaboration with the Oke-Ero Local Government Security Initiative, raided the kidnappers’ hideout in the Idofin-Igbana area.
The kidnappers, six in number and dressed in military uniforms, attempted to resist the rescue team with gunfire but were overpowered and fled, leaving behind the victims.
