Bandits Invade Prayer Camp in Kwara, Injure Lagos-Based Couple
According to a news report from Daily Trust, suspected bandits have invaded a prayer camp in Oluwalose community, Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara State.
A Lagos-based couple, whose identities remain undisclosed, were allegedly injured during the invasion of the camp in Solaty village along the Okoolowo-Jebba expressway, Ilorin, around 1:30 am on Wednesday.
The spokesperson for the state police command, DSP Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, confirmed the incident on Thursday. She stated that the kidnappers infiltrated the camp of Alfa Bukhari Jamiu Tunde and attempted to abduct guests who had travelled there for prayers.
“Upon arrival, it was discovered that nine heavily armed individuals, wielding AK-47 rifles and dane guns, had infiltrated the camp in an attempt to kidnap the guests.
“But thanks to the swift response and intervention of the patrol team and the vigilantes, the attempt was foiled.
“Unfortunately, a man and his wife who had journeyed from Lagos to attend the prayer sustained injuries inflicted by the kidnappers. The victims were rushed to the hospital and have been discharged after treatment”, she said.
Toun added that police patrol teams have been stationed in the area for continued monitoring to ensure the safety and security of the residents.
She said operatives have launched a search for the assailants, adding that investigation into the incident is ongoing.
“The Commissioner of Police, Victor Olaiya, commends the bravery and prompt action of the patrol team and the VGN members.
“Their dedication and quick response undoubtedly prevented a potential tragic event. We urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station.
The command remains committed to safeguarding the lives and properties of all residents”, she submitted.
