The Kogi State Government has confirmed that a rescued kidnap victim has given birth to twin girls at the Internally Displaced Persons camp in the state.

The State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Femi Fanwo, disclosed the development, noting that the mother’s identity is being withheld for security reasons.

According to him, Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo has directed the State Security Adviser and the Commissioner for Health to transfer the mother and her newborns to the State Specialist Hospital for comprehensive medical attention and postnatal care. He added that both the mother and the twin girls are in good condition.

The state government recently established the camp as a temporary rehabilitation centre where rescued victims of kidnapping receive care and support before being reunited with their families. It noted that, following ongoing security operations across the state, the number of rescued victims at the camp has continued to increase.

The government reaffirmed its commitment to the welfare and rehabilitation of rescued victims and commended security operatives for their efforts in combating criminality in the state.
