Bandits Invade Gbugbu, Kwara, Residents Flee As Gunfire Rages by Omooba77(op): 8:58pm On Feb 22

Residents of Gbugbu community in Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State are reportedly under attack following an invasion by suspected terrorists, who opened fire and triggered widespread panic.

Sources said intense gunfire echoed across the community on Sunday, sending residents fleeing for safety.

The attackers were said to have stormed the area in large numbers, shooting sporadically as they moved through parts of the town.

As of the time of filing this report, there were no confirmed casualties.

The number of residents abducted, if any, also remains unclear, as the assailants were reportedly still ransacking parts of the community.

A local source told SaharaReporters that the sound of gunshots echoed for hours, leaving residents trapped indoors and others escaping into nearby bushes.

“We don’t know the number of those taken or killed yet. The situation is terrifying,” the source said.

The attack marks the latest in a troubling wave of violent incidents in Edu Local Government Area.

Previous assaults in the area have resulted in deaths, abductions, and destruction of homes and property, raising fresh concerns over security in parts of Kwara State.

Security operatives were yet to issue an official statement at the time of this report, while residents continue to call for urgent intervention to restore calm and safeguard lives and property.

Terrorists are still systematically cleansing kwara state everyday while Ronus are more interested in Apc winning elections.

Human lives have become so useless in that side of Nigeria. They are playing politics with human life's. So, Fulani jihadists and Boko Haram terrorists are free to kill as they like. Nobody is stopping them.

If over 170 people were killed in a village in kwara and it seems nothing happened then kwara not is on there own. The govo is only bothered about kwara central. Kwara north is bleeding and economy is dieing, we farmers can't near fertile areas again. I'm indebt from last year farming. The area is just in shadow.
The masses are on their own.
