Two kids abducted in Ilorin, recovered at Seme border

Two kids allegedly abducted in Idi-
Ape area of Ilorin in the wee hours of Tuesday
have been recovered by the operatives of the
Nigerian Police Force at the Seme border
between Nigeria and Benin Republic. Vanguard gathered, Wednesday, that the two
children, a boy and a girl ages five and six, were
allegedly abducted in the early hours of
Tuesday in Ilorin when they were sent to
dispose some refuse. After endless search, information filtered into
the town that they have been found at the
Seme border around 3pm. The unexpected was said to have happened
when the alleged traffickers of the children
stopped over at a filling station in Seme border
to fuel his car. Vanguard learnt that it was at this same point
that the children regained consciousness and
screamed for help and the passers-by came to
their rescue. The alarm was said to have also attracted the
attention of a police patrol team in the area and
some members of the community. On sensing danger, the trafficker was said to
have zoomed off abandoning the children with
about four others. After interrogation, the victims were said to
have given useful information which enable the
police trace their homes in Ilorin and reunite
them with their family. Vanguard, however, gathered that this
development prompted members of the Idi-
Ape Quarters to comb the area and descended
on some destitute lurking around. During the raid, a pistol was said to have been
found on a man, pretending to be mad. Contacted,the Kwara State Police Public
Relations Officer (PPRO), Femi Fabode, an
Assistant Superintendent of Police, said he was
yet to be briefed on the incident.
