The Kwara State Police Command early Sunday morning confirmed the rescue and confirmed that the remaining three kidnapped victims in Isanlu-Isin have been released.
A follow-up statement on Sunday, July 16, 2023, signed by the Kwara State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Okasanmi Ajayi, said that the release was a result of the pressure asserted by the command tactical teams and the vigilante led by CP Ebunoluwarotimi Adelesi late last night.
On Saturday, the CP personally led another special tactical team on a search and rescue operation into the forests within Isin; in the process, another victim identified as Femi Ajayi with a bullet injury was rescued and brought to the health center in Isanlu-Isin, where he is currently receiving medical attention.
