A joint security team comprising operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and forest guards has rescued two abducted children during an operation in Kwara State.
The operation, carried out on Thursday in a forest between Oba Isin/Owa Onire in Isin and Ifelodun Local Government Areas, led to the rescue of 16-year-old Fatima Azeez and her five-year-old brother, Ibrahim.
According to sources in the Kwara State Government, two suspected kidnappers were killed during the operation, while others reportedly escaped with gunshot wounds. Security agencies were said to be continuing operations to apprehend the fleeing suspects.
Items recovered from the scene included an AK-47 rifle, a single-barrel gun, one fully loaded magazine, nine empty magazines, a mini solar charger and food items.
