Police operatives in Kwara State have rescued a 26-year-old kidnapped woman, Shekinat Mukaila, and arrested a suspected collaborator linked to the criminal gang that abducted her during an attack on Wande Community in the Ora Kingdom of Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state.

The rescue formed part of a series of intelligence-led operations announced on Friday by the state Commissioner of Police, Ojo Adekimi, in Ilorin.

The police commissioner disclosed that the victim was abducted on July 15 when armed hoodlums invaded the community, adding that her father, the Baale of Wande, sustained gunshot injuries while attempting to resist the attackers.

Adekimi said, “On 15th July, 2026, the Kwara State Police Command received a distress report of a kidnapping incident at Wande Community under Ora Kingdom, where armed hoodlums abducted Miss Shekinat Mukaila, aged 26 years.
