The Kwara State Police Command apprehended suspected kidnapper Muhamodu Sanni near the Obudu/Woru axis of Ilorin East Local Government Area. Sanni was caught while attempting to withdraw ransom money from a Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal, according to a statement by the command's Public Relations Officer, Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi. The arrest came after intelligence gathered following the abduction of three individuals during an armed assault on Obudu Village on July 28, 2026.
The officers expanded their investigation into the financial, logistical, and communication channels related to the victims, which led to Sanni's capture. The command's proactive approach, guided by Inspectrator-General Olatunji Disu, resulted in the disruption of a kidnapping syndicate's support structure, resulting in Sanni's arrest along with the identification of two additional suspects, Aminu and Umar.
