Thunderstrike has reportedly killed three suspected kidnappers in the agrarian Oro Ago community in the Ifelodun local government area of Kwara state.

It was gathered that the incident, linked to the efforts of local vigilance team in the Igbomina Kwara axis aimed at checking security challenges in the area, happened three days ago.

In a viral video of the incident, it was gathered that the victims of the thunderstrike were suspected members of an eight-man kidnap gang, who reportedly operated in Iwo,  Kwara state about two weeks ago.

Thunderstrike struck them dead. Three of them. God will continue to make us successful against the evil doers. We shall overcome them all by the grace of God. Thank you all”.
