The abducted wife of the traditional ruler, who was killed in Kwara state, has been rescued alongside one other person.

Recall that the Olukoro of Koro in Ekiti local government area of Kwara State was killed last week while his wife, Iyabo Aremu, and one other person were abducted.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Kwara, Ejire-Adeyemi Toun, said this this Tuesday that Iyabo and the other victim were rescued on Monday night following a joint operation by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), police, military, vigilante and local hunters.

He says security operatives combed the forest between Kwara and Ekiti States after the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, ordered the deployment of a police chopper for aerial surveillance

Ejire-Adeyemi also said the operation led to the arrest of 13 male suspects who are presently in custody.
