The General Officer Commanding (GOC), 2 Division Nigerian Army, and Commander Sector 3, Operation FANSAN YAMA, Major General CR Nnebeife, has assured residents of Kwara and neighbouring communities of sustained operations against bandits in the Babasango Forest axis.
Major General Nnebeife gave the assurance on 9 October 2025, during an operational visit to Patrol Base Babanla in Omu-Aran Local Government Area of Kwara State, where his team successfully rescued two kidnapped victims.
The GOC later visited the Chief of Ayekale village, Oba Pius Oluwole Oni Dofin of Idofin, following a recent attack on traders at Olegbede village that left three people dead. The monarch attributed the attack to the community’s proximity to Babasango Forest.
Condoling with the royal father, Major General Nnebeife reaffirmed the Nigerian Army’s commitment to flushing out criminal elements from the area.
The rescued victims were handed over to Oba Pius Oluwole during the visit.
