The Aniwo of Afin, a community in the Ile-Ire District of Ifelodun Local Government Area, Kwara State, Oba Simeon Ibiyinka Olaonipekun, has safely regained his freedom amid the ongoing security operations to curb banditry in the state.

ROYAL NEWS reports that the monarch was abducted from his palace on December 31, 2025, in a raid where his wife was reportedly shot.
