Combined security operatives have arrested three suspected bandits linked to the February 3, 2026 attack on Woro village in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State. The arrest was disclosed on Thursday by the Senior Special Assistant on Media to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Ibraheem Abdullateef, in a Facebook post. Abdullateef said the suspects were apprehended in Kaiama while attempting to purchase a motorcycle, following actionable intelligence. “The suspects came into Kaiama under the guise of buying a motorcycle but were intercepted by security operatives acting on credible intelligence,” he said. He added that the suspects were currently assisting investigators in efforts to rescue abducted victims and restore peace in the affected communities. “They are cooperating with authorities to aid ongoing investigations, facilitate the release of abductees, and strengthen security in the state,” he stated. The arrests come weeks after coordinated attacks on Woro and neighbouring Nuku communities, which left scores dead and many others abducted.
