Monday, July 21, 2025 - Three notorious kidnappers who disguise themselves as commercial motorcyclists to allegedly monitor and abduct unsuspecting residents have been arrested in Kwara State.
The suspects who have long terrorized residents and
commuters were nabbed in the early hours of Saturday, July 19, 2025 at Abelu,
along the Idofian Road axis at Abelu.
The arrest was effected by the security team attached
to the
Ilorin South Local Government Council.
Acting on credible intelligence, the local
government’s security team swiftly mobilized and raided the location, leading
to the arrest of the suspects.
The suspects were found with a bicycle, which they have been
using as a deceptive tool to aid their criminal activities posing as innocent
Okada riders to avoid suspicion while monitoring and executing their
abductions.
The Executive Chairman of Ilorin South Local Government
Council, Hon. Nuhu Majeed Podo, commended the bravery and efficiency of the
security task force, reaffirming his administration’s unwavering commitment to
the safety and security of all residents.
“This success is a clear result of our renewed efforts in
supporting local security architecture and encouraging community vigilance,”
Hon. Podo stated.
“We will not relent until Ilorin South is free from criminal
elements.”
The suspects are
currently in custody and undergoing further interrogation, as investigations
continue to determine the extent of their network and previous operations.
Residents are urged to
remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities in their communities as
the Council intensifies its security efforts across all zones.
