DSS Arrests Doctor Supplying Drugs to Kidnappers in Kwara State

The Department of State Services (DSS) has apprehended a doctor in Kwara State for reportedly supplying drugs to kidnappers, with alleged connections to a gang transporting medical supplies from Sokoto State. The arrest follows intelligence reports of kidnappers seeking medical care, particularly for gunshot wounds.

This crackdown is part of efforts to disrupt the logistics network supporting kidnapping cells in the North Central region, where insecurity has been on the rise. Areas like Jebba in Moro Local Government Area are highlighted as high-risk zones due to their proximity to vast forest areas used as hideouts by criminal gangs.
