The victims were rescued alive during an operation carried out in the Makwa area of Niger State by the Iru Ekun Security Team in collaboration with other security stakeholders.

The development was disclosed in a statement issued on Saturday by the Office of Oloye Sunday Adeyemo (Igboho) Media in collaboration with the Iru Ekun Security Team.

According to the statement, the successful operation brought relief to the victims’ family as well as residents of the Igboho and Igbope communities.

The statement said Sunday Igboho remained committed to supporting efforts aimed at protecting lives and property across the region.

“Oloye Sunday Adeyemo (Igboho) reaffirms his unwavering commitment to the protection of lives and property. He assures the people of Oke-Ogun that every lawful effort will continue to be made in support of peace and security across the region,” it stated.

The office urged members of the public to remain calm and continue supporting lawful security initiatives, while cautioning against the spread of unverified information capable of causing panic.

It added that further details surrounding the rescue operation would be made public at the appropriate time.

The statement also prayed for lasting peace in Igboho, Igbope and other communities across the Oke-Ogun axis.
