The Kwara State Police Command has officially confirmed the kidnapping of several individuals in Eleyinla village, near Isanlu-Isin, located within the Kwara South Senatorial District. The incident occurred at approximately 5:45 PM on Friday, April 25, 2025, when unidentified armed men intercepted two private vehicles in Eleyinla and forcefully took their occupants to an unknown destination. According to LMSINT MEDIA, this is the third abduction incident recorded in the region within a week. Previously, numerous travelers were kidnapped along the Ilofa-Omu Aran highway, and another group of seven passengers, including a bus driver operating under the Olumoh Express Transport Company, were abducted around the Obbo Ayegunle axis of Kwara South. In an official statement released in Ilorin, the spokesperson for the police command, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, disclosed that around five armed men orchestrated the Friday attack, blocking the highway and abducting passengers. Thanks to a prompt response coordinated between the police, military forces, and local vigilante groups, two of the abducted victims, identified as Ganiyu Ajayi and Kolawole Adeyemi, were successfully rescued. Efforts remain underway to locate and safely recover the remaining five individuals still held captive. The Kwara State Police Command has intensified its operations across the affected region, employing aggressive bush combing, coordinated patrols, and intelligence-led security strategies to curb further criminal activities. Authorities have reassured residents that comprehensive security measures are actively in place to protect lives and property. Citizens are urged to stay vigilant, remain calm, and cooperate by providing credible information that can aid ongoing operations. Further updates regarding the rescue efforts and security interventions will be shared by the command as developments unfold.
