Suspected kidnappers have k!lled a 45-year-old businessman, Dauda Ismail, in Okuta community of Baruten local government area of Kwara State.

The farm produce merchant was abducted and killed by his abductors on Monday, June 23, at Takare area of Okuta community.

Confirming the incident to newsmen, the command’s spokesperson, Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, said policemen also neutralised one of the suspects that k!lled the businessman during the exchange of fire power.

She added that a local vigilante also lost his life in the cross-fire between the policemen and the suspected kidnappers.

The statement reads

“The Kwara State Police Command wishes to inform members of the public of a tr@gic incident involving the k!dnapping and subsequent killing of one Alhaji Dauda Isma’il, a 45-year-old transporter and farm produce merchant of Takare Area, Okuta, Baruten LGA, Kwara State.

On the 22nd of June, 2025 at about 2240hrs, a gang of armed men numbering four (4) stormed the residence of the victim and abd#cted him after shooting sporadically into the air. The g#nmen took him to an unknown destination. A Swift response team comprising operatives of the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Army, Vigilantes, and local hunters were immediately mobilised for a bush combing operation aimed at rescuing the victim unhurt.Green job opportunities.Travel packages

A fierce gun duel ensued, wherein one of the kidnappers was neutralized during the exchange of gunfire, his AK-47 rifle loaded with thirteen (13) rounds of live ammunition was recovered. While the remaining suspects fled into the bush and are currently being trailed.
