Unidentified gunmen have attacked the Isapa community in the Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, kidnapping a pregnant woman, 10 children, two nursing mothers, and several others.
It was gathered that an estimated 20 to 30 armed bandits
invaded the community, advancing with a large herd of cattle and firing
sporadically.
A stray bullet reportedly struck an elderly woman during the
assault.
A community leader who confirmed the incident told National
Pilot that 11 people were abducted, including seven members of the same family.
The abducted individuals have been identified as: Talatu
Kabiru, Magaji, Kande, Hadiza, Mariam, Saima, Habibat (a housewife), Fatima
Yusufu (a housewife), Sarah Sunday (pregnant woman), Lami Fidelis (a nursing
mother), and Haja Na Allah.
The attackers reportedly escaped through bush paths
connecting Eruku to neighbouring communities, leaving residents in panic and
confusion.
The attack comes barely two weeks after bandits struck the
Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), kidnapping 38 members, while others reportedly
died during the assault.
However, all 38 abducted victims from the church incident
have reportedly been rescued.
