According to DSS sources, the kidnappers have become increasingly desperate for medical attention due to gunshot injuries sustained during recent clashes with security forces.
Troops deployed to Kwara State have intensified operations to flush out armed bandits who infiltrated the state from neighbouring regions. The heightened pressure has reportedly driven the criminals to seek medical supplies covertly.
A security official urged health facilities located near forested or isolated areas to strengthen their security measures, warning that such centres may be targeted by injured kidnappers seeking treatment.
