This is contained in a statement issued by the command’s Spokesman, Mr Babawale Afolabi, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria in Ilorin on Friday.
Afolabi said that the gunmen, suspected to be kidnappers, had, on October 28th, shot a woman while attempting to kidnap two teachers in Osi-Ekiti.
He said that two female teachers of Ikerin Secondary School in the town were on their way home after school hours when they were double-crossed by the gunmen.
“It was around 4:30 pm. on October 28th when our operatives at Araromi, Opin-Ekiti Divisonal Office, got a distressed call about a failed kidnap attempt.
“NSCDC officers, with some local hunters, met at the scene of the incident, but the gunmen had disappeared.
