Scores of suspected kidnappers arrested in Kwara community
Scores of suspected kidnappers were arrested on Tuesday evening at Olayinka area along the Ajasepo/Igbaja/Oke-Ode highway in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, Very Nigerian has reported.
The suspects were said to have fled from Baba Sango after security intelligence uncovered that some informants working for bandits were disguising as beggars and moving around towns and villages in the Kwara South Senatorial District.
Confirming the incident on Wednesday, the Coordinator of the Joint Security Watch in Kwara South Senatorial District, Zubair Olaitan, told Very Nigerian that the arrests were made following credible information received by security operatives.
The arrest is part of the ongoing efforts by security operatives to combat crime in Kwara state.
“We got intelligence that bandits from Baba Sango and Oro-Ago are spreading out to other parts of Kwara South.
“One of their informants, disguised as a beggar, was caught in Igbaja yesterday.
“He spilled that his sponsors are operating from Kaara Market, Ajasepo, and Olayinka near Oke-Ode. He’s been handed over to Anti-Kidnapping Squad, AKS. Time for swift action,” Olaitan said.
