A medical doctor who is in business with kidnappers has been arrested in Kwara.
The state is having its own share of banditry and kidnap in recent time with the latest being the kidnap of 35 worshippers in a church and killing of the pastor in Eruku area.
The doctor’s arrest, a new development, was made by the Department of State Services, as per the account the state government gave via a post on its Facebook handle.
The unnamed suspect it was said was caught while transporting medical supplies from Sokoto State to suspected kidnapping gangs operating in Kwara State.
He was reportedly arrested in Jebba, Moro Local Government Area, following intelligence linking him to a syndicate responsible for delivering medical items to armed groups across the region.
“The Department of State Service has taken into custody a medical doctor who was ferrying drugs from Sokoto to kidnappers in parts of Kwara State.
“The doctor was intercepted in the Jebba area following intelligence reports about the activities of the kidnappers and their couriers. The secret service says the criminal gangs appear desperate for medical care following gunshot wounds sustained in encounters with security forces,” the post read.
