The State Security Service (SSS) has detained a medical doctor in Kwara State, accused of supplying essential drugs to kidnappers. This arrest follows intelligence reports linking the doctor to transporting supplies from Sokoto State to criminal hideouts.
Criminal gangs in Kwara are reportedly desperate for medical care after sustaining gunshot wounds in encounters with security forces. Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq also announced the recruitment of 2,600 forest guards to boost state security.
