Security forces have eliminated a notorious kidnapper, identified as Maidawa, and some of his gang members in the Isanlu Isin community of Kwara State.
DAILY POST reports that “communications intercepted from the marauding kidnappers revealed that a notorious kidnapper known as Maidawa and many of his foot soldiers have been eliminated in an encounter with the joint security forces around Isanlu-Isin in Kwara State.”
According to insider sources with the State Security Service, the engagement occurred on September 30 as security forces intensified the operation to rout the criminals.
“The news of Maidawa’s death was broken to other gang members by another wanted kidnapper Baccujo, around Igboro-Idofin road during a conversation with his associates in far-away Marabar Maigora, Sabuwa LGA of Katsina State.”
Security forces, spurred by new calls from the state government for urgent interventions, have ratcheted up the efforts to dislodge the kidnappers who often launch cowardly attacks on civilian populations and abduct people for ransom.
The operations are phased to cover every area where incidents have been recorded in recent weeks, including Ekiti, Ifelodun, Isin, Edu, and Patigi, DAILY POST further gathered.
