Kwara Under Siege As Terrorists Abduct Traditional Ruler In Ifelodun Council Area

Terrorists have reportedly abducted a traditional ruler, Oba Bayagan, in the Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, triggering fresh concerns over the worsening insecurity plaguing communities across the state.

SaharaReporters learnt that the monarch was kidnapped on Saturday, although details surrounding the incident remain sketchy as of the time of filing this report.

Residents said the attack happened suddenly, leaving the community in fear and confusion.

Kwara State has battled a disturbing rise in violent crimes in recent years, with rural communities increasingly targeted by armed groups.

Just two weeks ago, terrorists invaded a church in Eruku, Ekiti LGA, abducting worshippers during a service. The victims were later rescued after security intervention.

Days later, another armed gang stormed Isapa community, also in the Ekiti axis, kidnapping at least 11 residents, including women and youth.

The latest abduction of Oba Bayagan has heightened tension across Ifelodun and neighbouring LGAs.

SaharaReporters previously reported that two residents of Manba Village in the Patigi Local Government Area of Kwara State have been abducted after terrorists stormed the community through the Rogun axis late Friday night.

A community source told SaharaReporters that the attackers invaded the village at about 11pm, shooting sporadically as residents fled for safety.

“The gunmen came through Rogun and headed straight into Manba. They operated freely and took two people away,” the source said, adding that fear has gripped surrounding villages.

This is getting out of hand. Where are those Alfas always reciting blues and throwing punchlines?

The way you lay your bed so you lie on it, many who have been defending the government when it is glaring that it is failing in security matter should be ready to feel the pains of those who the insecurity have affected.

Partisanship, shouldn't blind the heart of a sincere soul to speak the truth.

Until the government name the sponsors and arrest Gumi, I will consider the effort of the government over insecurity below average

Our Security Forces are obviously incapable of handling the rising Insecurity.

It will only continue getting worse, unless something drastic is done.

Fake news, Notting like this happened in Kwara state, the people there are fine and they are happy with their respectful neighbours the Fulani freedom fighters, good citizens who don't disrespect their host.
