The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 2 Division Nigerian Army and Commander Sector 3 Operation FANSAN YAMA, Major General CR Nnebeife, had on 9 October, 2025, led troops of the Patrol Base Babanla, towards Babasango Forest, in Kwara State, where they rescued two kidnap victims during his operational visit to the Base.
This was disclosed in a release signed by the Acting Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, 2 Division Nigerian Army, Lieutenant Colonel Polycarp Okoye.
According to the release, the GOC visited the base following a recent bandits attack on traders at Olegbede village, about 12 km from Idofin Ayekale, Omu-Aran LGA of Kwara state where three persons were unfortunately killed.
Major General Nnebeife and the troop thereafter proceeded to the residence of the Chief of Ayekale village, Oba Pius Oluwole, Oni Dofin of Idofin, Odoeshe Ayekale where he handed over the victims to the royal father.
While appreciating the gallantry intervention of the GOC and other officers and men of the Nigerian Army, Oba Pius Oluwole attributed the attack on his community to its close proximity to Babasango Forest.
In his response, Major General Nnebeife, condoled with the Royal Father and assured him that the Nigerian Army will sustain operations to flush out bandits and other criminal elements from the entire forest.
