A 50-year-old woman, who was abducted on Friday night at Ijan town, Irepodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, has been released by her abductors.

The old woman, according to reports reaching DAILY POST, was released on Monday after payment of ransom, the amount of which is yet to be confirmed.

The armed kidnappers reportedly invaded the town at about 7.30pm and kidnapped the old woman alongside one other nursing mother.

The kidnap incident was confirmed by the spokesman of the state police command, SP Okasanmi Ajayi in a phone chat with DAILY POST in Ilorin on Tuesday.

He disclosed that the state Police Commissioner, Paul Odama, immediately dispatched the anti-kidnapping unit of the command to the area to apprehend the kidnappers and rescue the victims.

Okasanmi vowed that no stone would be left unturned to get to the root of the incident and arrest the masterminds behind the incident.
