Dare-devil bandits have carried out another attack on Kakafu community in Patigi Local Government Area of Kwara State, abducting several residents during the latest incident.
According to a report by security reporter, Bakatsine, the attack occurred on Saturday night, barely a day after terrorists released a video showing about 176 kidnap victims from communities in the state languishing in camp.
Reports from local sources indicate that the latest incident happened at about 1:30 a.m., when the attackers stormed the community and abducted between three and four residents.
Details surrounding the attack remain unclear as at the time of filing this report, while security agencies are yet to issue an official statement on the incident. Community members have expressed concern over the growing security challenges in parts of Kwara North, calling for urgent intervention by authorities.
PlatinumPost reports that Kwara North has witnessed a series of security breaches in recent months, with rural communities increasingly targeted by armed groups suspected to be bandits and terrorist elements operating along forest corridors linking parts of Niger and Kogi states.
Security analysts have warned that the movement of armed groups from neighbouring states, coupled with vast ungoverned forest areas, has contributed to the spread of kidnapping and violent attacks in previously calmer parts of Kwara.
