The Kwara police command in a statement, said, โThe students were rescued and taken to the Divisional Police Headquarters Oro-Ago in Kwara State in preparation for their onward movement to receive medical attention at the state capital, Ilorin. However, on arrival at the station, the students appeared weak and in dirty clothes. Police operatives provided presentable clothes and breakfast.
โWhile making preparations for their onward movement to Ilorin, soldiers in a convoy with three operational vehicles stormed Oro-Ago police station, overpowered the police operatives and forcefully took custody of the rescued students without proper handing over.
โThis act is disrespectful to the force; totally unacceptable. The behaviour of the soldiers is likened to an act unbecoming of an officer. And necessary actions will be taken to report their conduct to the higher authority,โ
