The Department of State Service has taken into custody a medical doctor who was ferrying drugs from Sokoto to kidnappers in parts of Kwara State.
The doctor was intercepted in Jebba area following intelligence reports about the activities of the kidnappers and their couriers.
The secret service says the criminal gangs appear desperate for medical care following gunshot wounds sustained in encounters with security forces.
“So, we are advising improved security measures in health facilities in thickly forested areas which the kidnappers may target,” according to a security official.
