A swift response by security operatives in Kogi State has foiled an attempted kidnapping along the Ogori-Ibillo Road, ensuring the safety of all passengers involved.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that, on March 18, 2025, at about 2:20 p.m., six armed hoodlums dressed in camouflage blocked the highway, shooting sporadically to force vehicles to stop.
Upon hearing the gunshots, security operatives quickly responded and engaged the criminals in a gun battle, forcing them to flee into the bush, likely with gunshot injuries.
No casualties were recorded among the passengers, and the obstruction was swiftly cleared to restore the free flow of traffic. Security patrols along the road have since been intensified to prevent future incidents.
