Suspected bandits have kidnapped the first wife of the Baale of Dabu, a community in the Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.
In another incident, kidnappers are demanding ₦20 million ransom for the release of another woman abducted from a nearby community.
The latest victim, identified as Iya Ayoka, was reportedly abducted in Dabu on Friday night, according to the Kwara South Development Forum (KSDF).
The development comes amid renewed concerns over insecurity in Kwara South, where communities have reported sporadic kidnappings and armed attacks despite recently increased security in the area.
In a statement on Sunday, Kwara State Development (KSDF) called on the federal and Kwara State governments to urgently secure the release of Ayoka and other victims in captivity.
