Kwara NSCDC Arrests Suspected Kidnapper Linked to Abduction of Woman and Her Two Sons
The Kwara State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has apprehended a suspected kidnapper, Abu Umar, in connection with the abduction of a woman, Isiaka Halimah, and her two sons, Kabir and Hassan Isiaka.
Addressing journalists on Monday, December 2, 2024, at the Command headquarters in Ilorin, the State Commandant, Dr. Umar J.G. Mohammed, revealed that the victims were kidnapped on November 7, 2024, in the Gidanrogo area of Ajase-Ipo, Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.
The suspect, who previously worked for the victims’ family, was traced and arrested after the kidnappers used his phone number to contact the family for ransom.
Dr. Umar stated, “The suspect is currently assisting the NSCDC in efforts to apprehend other members of the syndicate and secure the release of the victims.”
He reaffirmed the Command’s dedication to fighting criminal activities and ensuring the safety of residents in the state.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
