Nigerian Army's 65 Battalion rescued two abducted farm workers and eliminated one suspect in Lagos State's Epe Local Government Area, according to security analyst Zagazola Makama. The operation involved troops, police officers, and local vigilantes. Victims Kelvin Okafor and Alex Anato were seized while working on their farm near Igbonla.
Security forces received information about the incident and confronted the kidnappers while they held the victims. The suspects reportedly abandoned the men as they spotted the approaching security personnel. Troops pursued the kidnappers, resulting in the neutralization of one suspect and the escape of two others into the surrounding forest.
The rescued victims were found unharmed and handed over to the Police for further action. The remains of the neutralized suspect were also turned over to the Police for investigation and necessary procedures.
