Security forces killed four suspected bandits and rescued two kidnap victims following an attack on Aboki community in Kaiama Local Government Area, Kwara State.
Five armed bandits invaded the community Tuesday night, shooting sporadically, killing one resident and abducting two others. Security operatives were swiftly mobilised and neutralised four attackers during the pursuit; a fifth escaped with gunshot injuries. Both kidnap victims were rescued unharmed.
Officials say response times have significantly improved as authorities intensify Kwara’s anti-kidnapping campaign. The operation comes as a new Nigerian Army battalion has been approved for Omu-Aran in Kwara South, part of broader efforts to strengthen the fight against terrorism and banditry across the state.
