According to the Nigerian Tribune, the incident linked to the efforts of a local vigilance team in the Igbomina Kwara axis aimed at checking security challenges in the area, happened three days ago.
It was gathered that the victims of the lightning strike were suspected members of an eight-man kidnap gang who reportedly operated in Iwo, Osun state about two weeks ago.
A source among the Oro-Ago Development Union (ODU), a sociocultural organization of indigenes of the area, confirmed the incident to the publication, saying that members of the vigilance team in the area briefed the organization on the development.
