Ten armed men in military uniform on Saturday invaded Zulu Abeje Hotel,Madala via Alapa in kwara state, killed one person, abducted the other while the owner of the hotel escaped.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Tuesday Assayomo, made the disclosure on Saturday in Ilorin in a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for the Police Command in the state,SP Okasanmi Ajayi.
Assayomo said, “About 2000hrs of Saturday 28/8/2021, a distress call was received by the command to the effect that, about ten armed men in military uniform invaded Zulu Abeje Hotel, Madala via Alapa.”
According to the police commissioner,in an attempt to abduct the owner of the hotel,one Zulu, shots were fired by the invaders and “one Aro Radaq of Oloje Ilorin was hit and he died at the front of the hotel.”
The police boss noted that the target of the Kidnappers, who happened to be the owner of the hotel,escaped with injuries, adding that while escaping into the bush, the kidnappers abducted one Abdulhakeem Aminu of Anifowoshe,Ilorin.
The Commissioner of Police said he immediately reacted to the development by dispatching the Command’s tactical units on receipt of the information and co-opted local hunters, vigilantes and Opc in the search and rescue endeavour.
He commensurated with the family of the dead victim and “assures good people of Kwara State, especially the families of the victims, that no stone would be left unturned in the effort to rescue the abductee and arrest the culprits.”
Assayomo solicited the cooperation of the people of the state, through giving the police information that would aid the command in early arrest of the suspects and rescue of the victim.
He, however, advised the world-be planners of any protest on Monday to shun such plan, assuring that adequate security “is emplaced to forestall any break down of law and order and to protect every law abiding citizens of the state.”
