Gunmen suspected to be bandits on Thursday night attacked Gaa-Alla and Gaa-Oke Abba communities in Isin Local Government Area, as well as Famole Community in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, abducting residents.
It was gathered that the attacks were carried out simultaneously in a coordinated operation at about 10:00 p.m.
Confirming the incident, the state Commissioner of Police, Adekimi Ojo, said two people were abducted in Gaa-Alla Community.
“I can only confirm that in Gaa-Alla Community, two people were abducted and that the police, in conjunction with the military and forest guards, are on the trail of the assailants,” he said.
Sources in the affected communities, however, claimed that the suspected terrorists kidnapped scores of residents and killed one person during a gun battle in Famole Community.
