Following the death of some three people identified as kidnappers, the Kwara State Police Command has commenced an investigation into their deaths.
A thunderstorm at the Oro Ago community in the Ifelodun local government area reportedly killed the suspected kidnappers.
According to a video that has gone viral, the incident happened about three days ago in the community.
In the video, it was gathered that the victims of the thunderstrike were suspected members of an eight-man kidnap gang, who reportedly operated in Iwo in the Isin local government area of the state about three weeks ago.
The voice in the short video clip said, “We’re members of the vigilance team in Igbomina Kwara.
“Our efforts against those perpetrating evil and kidnapping people in our area had yielded fruits. Thunderstrike struck them dead. Three of them.
“God will continue to make us successful against the evildoers. We shall overcome them all by the grace of God. Thank you all”.
However, speaking on the incident, the state commissioner of Police, Mrs Ebunoluwarotimi Adelesi, said that the command and its men had already commenced an investigation into the incident.
The police boss said that the veracity of the incident would be ascertained after diligent investigation.
