Nigerian Forces Battle Bandits in Kogi’s Yagba West

Intelligence reports on Tuesday confirmed that Nigerian security forces are engaging armed bandits and terrorists in Okunran, Okoloke, and Isanlu Esa, located in Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State. The coordinated operation has already recorded casualties on both sides, with several terrorists neutralized, according to security sources.

Impact on Neighboring Communities

Officials warned that the fighting is not an isolated incident. Neighboring communities including Odo-Ere, Odo-Eri, Ejiba, and Egbe in Kogi State, as well as Eruku, Osi, Obo-Ile, and Oke-Ode in Kwara State, are urged to remain vigilant. Some areas in Niger State are also reportedly feeling the ripple effects of the clashes.

Security Advisory

Authorities have advised residents to watch out for suspicious movements, unfamiliar faces, and strange activities. Communities are encouraged to prioritize safety, remain calm, and share only verified information with security operatives to avoid panic.

Background

This development comes just two days after a deadly bandit raid on Ogba-Ayo community in Oke-Ode town, Kwara State, which left at least 12 people, including the Baale, dead. An unspecified number of residents were abducted during that attack.

In response, the Nigerian Army Headquarters redeployed the General Officer Commanding (GOC), 2 Division Ibadan, to Kwara State to reinforce security in the troubled zone.

The agenda is clear... Let there be unrest till Nigeria finally gives in to Islam

Now Kwara... This beautiful igbo adage comes to mind... He who brings home an ant infested wood should not complain when lizards occasionally pay him visits..

These bandits criminals don almost take over half of the country.

This is what happens when you share border with useless countries like Niger and co.

Finish at terrorists in Nigeria. But why are Kogi people joining Terrorists

Another Oduduwa annex, just like KWARA,Ekiti, OYO, etc etc

All these Israeli IPOB bandits claiming Igbo Jews should better remain in the South East, we Igbo Christians will not tolerate Jew terrorist to migrate from our Land.

If the terrorists had a spokesperson, they’d clarify with a head count of all members who partook in the operation as proof that only the army collected wotoporously. I just watched a video on X where these ragtag terrorists were cruising a highway in a bike convoy of nothing less than 300 bikes. I guess they were coming from this successful operation.
But APC is more interested in setting up a propaganda campaign team for 2027.
That same Propaganda would be Tinubu’s Achilles heel as no matter how far a lie might travel, the truth eventually catches up.

I no blame Israel at all. They are the one's feeling the pain.
If you are victim of kidnappers and bandits you will know that the only language they understand is fire for fire.

Kudus to the Nigerian Army

These guys have taken the North and now advancing southwards really fast..

Now they are in the middle belt and parts of South west..

It's only a matter of time, their mission would be completed..

All thanks to the irrespónsible and clueless leadership..

Oga their mission can never be complete in South eastern part of Nigeria. For over 3 years we withstood the entire Nigeria and Europe forces who be bandits.

They keep calling them bandits but these are obviously terrorists coming from the North East. Bandits don't kill people en masse and still have enough power to face the military, only terrorists do that.

APC led government should stop lying to Nigerians. Terrorists are advancing South, let everyone have a personal protection plan! Enough said.

Ahhh e don reach my hometown 😩😩😩 God please save us all 🙏

They voluntarily came out boldly in katsina during their meeting with the Governor and police to publicly announce themselves repeatedly as Fulani but the media continue to call them bandits.
Continue!
It is when they overrun the whole country that we will know how far

You still dey speak Turenchi

Wetin happen for KWARA is happening simultaneously everywhere around SW.

Tinubu is President...and you can't have Peace in your own land. Go and look for IGBO threads to poor your lamentations.

Terrorist sympathizer has spoken.
You can as well join them to complete the mission
Every nation has it security concern, and Nigeria would win this.
All those fond of politicalizing everything would surely be disgraced.
Sore loser and bitter people

For the bolded above, are you aware that these guys are k!lling people inside the mosque?

Are you aware that most of the towns they're ransacking in Kwara state are predominantly Muslims?

You can do better please.

Bandits or terrorists are everywhere in of Nigeria as a whole, is just a matter of time, there strategy is dominating many lands per square meter from state to state through rural villages, once they have conquered a particular village, they alert the ones in the other village that they are coming to dominate that other village that they are present in, that they should give them a safe route.....

Is just like a rat in the house..... Army or police can't stop them, they are more smarter than all the security force in Nigeria, to catch someone who is smart, you must be smarter..... It is what it is....

It's Muslim..Muslim ticket. The fact that they are headed to SW explicitly shows that it's payback time.

Anyway..have you seen any SW media outlet call them TERRORISTS, even after killing numerous people without scruples? The Terrorists tag is reserved for IGBOs only. That is why I will NEVER pity them.

They supported extremists and now the result is gaining traction towards the SW.

Let them enjoy their presidency.
