Security Forces Eliminate Dozens of Suspected Bandits in Ifelodun Hideout Raid
Security forces deployed in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State have reportedly killed dozens of suspected bandits who had been terrorising communities in the region for several weeks.
THISDAY investigations revealed that coordinated security operatives launched a surprise assault on the criminals' hideouts, eliminating them in swift action.
Sources confirmed that the operation, conducted jointly with local vigilante groups, targeted multiple hideouts around Baba Sango and Oro River near Babanla.
Multiple security sources told journalists yesterday that the operation began on Sunday night and continued into Monday morning, marking a major offensive to restore peace in the area.
A senior security officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: "The security forces made inroads into their hideouts. They attempted a feeble ambush, but it was quickly neutralised by our operatives."
The successful clearance mission is being hailed as a significant breakthrough in the state's ongoing fight against rural banditry.
"Many of the criminals were killed in the process. No death was recorded on the part of the security forces.
"Those who were injured are already being attended to in a designated hospital in the state."
Another source said air assets were also deployed as part of the operation, underscoring the commitment of the government to rid the large forested area of the violent elements who had been targeting unarmed civilians in nearby communities.
The security officer therefore, appealed to the residents of the state to remain calm as all efforts have been made to flush out bandits from the state.
