The founder of the Iru Ekun Security Network and Yoruba Nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has announced the rescue of a woman and her son who were abducted in Igbope, Oorelope Local Government Area of Oyo State.
According to Igboho, the victims, identified as Adijat Kubura Aliqlas and her son, Abdulmalik, were rescued in Kwara State following a joint operation involving operatives of the Iru Ekun Security Network and the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of the Nigeria Police Force.
A statement issued by Igboho’s media office on Saturday said the operation, which lasted about three days, was made possible through intelligence gathering and the tracking of the kidnappers.
It added that the suspects were lured into collecting ransom before security operatives launched an assault on them.
The statement said the kidnappers fled with gunshot wounds and abandoned their captives in the forest.
It quoted Igboho as saying: “Myself and my team members with ASP Amos Ajegoke, including policemen have been in the forest for days tracking the movement of the hoodlums to ascertain the location. But on July 2, we discovered that they were at Bode Sadu before Jebba. We moved there and were there till Friday night.“
“Around 12:00 a.m. they came to collect ransom as we both agreed. But we attacked them in the forest and there was exchange of gunshots.“
“We subsequently gave them a hot chase and combed the forest. They fled. Later, we found out that they have abandoned Adijat Kubura and Abdulmalik.“
“We heard their voices shouting for help and were able to locate where the noises were coming from and rescued them. They are currently in Igboho General Hospital receiving medical attention.“
“It is crucial to say this operation and its success were made possible with the valuable support of the Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, who was communicating with the Commissioner of Police in Kwara and Niger States, thus making the strenuous arduous task fruitful after days and nights inside forests.”
Igboho reaffirmed his commitment to protecting lives and property, assuring residents of Oke-Ogun and Oyo State that every lawful effort would continue to be deployed in support of peace and security.
He also urged Nigerians to remain calm and support legitimate security efforts aimed at combating crime, while advising against the spread of unverified information capable of creating unnecessary fear.
