The Department of State Service has reportedly arrested a medical doctor said to be supplying drugs to kidnapping gangs operating in parts of Kwara State.

The suspect, whose name could not be ascertained at press time, was intercepted in the Jebba area after intelligence reports revealed that some couriers had been moving medical supplies from Sokoto to treat wounded bandits hiding in forests across the state.

Security sources said many of the criminal groups have sustained gunshot injuries in recent encounters with forces.

“So, we are advising improved security measures in health facilities in thickly forested areas which the kidnappers may target,” a security official said.


Confirming the development, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Kwara State, Rafiu Ajakaye, said the arrest was another important breakthrough in ongoing efforts against banditry.

“This is a major stride by the DSS. It reinforces the fact that security agencies are closing in on these criminals and blocking the support systems that enable their operations,” he said.

Ajakaye added that the state government will continue to strengthen collaboration with security agencies to shut down all channels aiding kidnapping activities.

Just gave them the Benefit of Doubt.
Sometimes, vital information is withheld until investigations are concluded.

If you believe this, then you are gullible. People who claim to have arrested 13,000 bandits and killed 17,000 in last 2 years. Yet have no information about where bandits are located and bandits are rampant everywhere

Make them tell you his name as per se you be what?

Why hidden information of the criminal arrested, if truly such has taken place and not just a cooked up story to save face of the government...
