Nigerian Soldiers acting on intelligence, stormed the forest in between Kwara and Ekiti states and arrested suspected Fulani kidnappers.
Two Fulani Kidnappers were arrested on Friday afternoon after soldiers burst a hideout of kidnappers in Oke Ero area of Kwara State.
Reports says that the soldiers, acting on intelligence stormed the forest in between Kwara and Ekiti states and arrested the Fulani kidnappers, recovering 100 dollar notes from them.
A source in the area noted that the kidnappers had been notorious for several kidnapping incidents in the area, adding that the criminals had “just collected ransoms from some of their victims.”
Another source stated that the suspects were believed to be among those who had abducted Oba David Oyewumi, the Obadu of Ilemeso Ekiti, who was abducted in the Oye Local Government Area of Ekiti State but rescued in a forest in Kwara State.
Sunday Abutu, spokesman for Ekiti police command, had confirmed last week that the monarch was released in a forest in Kwara State.
“I can confirm that the ruler has been released from captivity. He has also been reunited with his family,” Abutu said.
“He is receiving medical attention in one of the facilities in the state as a result of the trauma he went through.”
