Kwara Joint Security Movement Rescues 3 Abducted Persons

More facts emerged on Sunday on the failed abduction of three victims on Friday night by armed men at two villages, Gaa Sulu in Omupo district of Ifelodun Local Government in Kwara state.

Our Correspondent gathered that two Fulani ladies and one of their husbands from their camp near Gaa Sulu village in Omupo District of Ifelodun local government area of the state regained their freedom through gallantry efforts of hunters and vigilante groups.

One of the suspected  kidnappers, however, lost his life during exchange of fireworks and five suspected kidnappers identified as Gwari and Zuru origins were later apprehended and handed over to the police.

Joint operations of traditional hunters and vigilante of Meyitti Allah, in collaboration with the Nigeria Police on Saturday, successfully rescued the three abducted persons without paying ransom to their abductors.

A statement by the Coordinator, Joint Security Network, Kwara South District, Elder Olaitan Oyin Zubair and made available to newsmen on Sunday, revealed that upon receiving the news of the abduction of three people, the hunters and vigilante group swung into action by combing the forests through Bayagan to Maloko, Jobi and Alo axes, which resulted into exchange of gunfire between the hunters and the kidnappers.

Elder Zubair said the hunters who were promptly joined by residents from various communities in the area to chase the six kidnappers led to the freedom of the abducted persons and arrest of some of the evil criminals, adding that one of them was shot dead during the exchange of gunfire.

He continued that, the operation was successful owing largely to the cooperation of both Meyitti Allah vigilante and members of the Joint Security Network Movement with the active support of traditional rulers from the area.

Elder Oyin-Zubair maintained that the success of the operation without allowing the bandits to dictate terms for the freedom of their abductees proved the readiness of the local people to take the war to the bandits terrorising the State and Kwara South Senatorial District in particular.

The coordinator commended the Police Commissioner, Kwara State Command, Mr Victor Olaiya, who actively monitored and encouraged the success of the operations.
