The Nigeria Police Force, has recorded another operational success in its sustained efforts against violent crime with the rescue of an abducted woman and her two-year-old son from a forest hideout in Kwara State.
Acting on credible intelligence, operatives of the Force Intelligence Department – Intelligence Response Team (FID-IRT), in collaboration with local security support groups, on Saturday, 4th July 2026, conducted a tactical operation in a forest at Bode Sadu, Kwara State, where the victims were believed to be held captive.
Upon sighting the operatives, the kidnappers opened fire in a bid to resist the operation but were met with a swift tactical response, forcing them to flee deeper into the forest. The operatives subsequently combed the area and successfully rescued Adijat Kuburat, aged 43, and her two-year-old son, Abdul Malik Hamzat, from the kidnappers' hideout.
The rescued victims have since been taken to a medical facility, where they are receiving appropriate treatment and care while efforts have been intensified to apprehend the fleeing suspects and dismantle the criminal network responsible for the abduction.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc(+), NPM, commends the gallantry and professionalism of the operatives involved in the rescue operation. He reiterated that the Nigeria Police Force remains committed to combating kidnapping and other violent crimes through sustained intelligence-led and collaborative operations until all criminal elements are brought to justice.
