Police rescue kidnapped women, child in Kwara
The Kwara State Police Command successfully rescued a two-year-old child and eleven market women who were kidnapped last Wednesday in the Oke-Ode axis of Ifelodun local government area.
The women were returning from trading at Oke-Ode market when they were ambushed by kidnappers near Oyi Bridge in Yaaru/Olayinka Village along the Ajase-Ipo/Oke-Ode Road.
Spokesperson for the Kwara Police Command, Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, confirmed the rescue on Tuesday. She reported that a combined team of security agencies combed the forest and managed to free all twelve victims. “All the victims have been rescued and released to their families,” Ejire-Adeyemi stated. Some of the injured were treated at the General Hospital in Share, Ifelodun local government, and have since been discharged.
