Ten unidentified gunmen have launched fresh attacks on Odo-Ore in Kwara State’s Isin Local Government Area.
The attack caused panic and chaos as gunmen fired intermittently and kidnapped at least five people.
Sources say there is no police station or any security outfit in the community to resist the attack by the terrorists.
Reports reveal that the terrorists broke in, proceeded directly to the home of a well-known politician and school owner named Alhaji Yusuf Yunusa, and kidnapped him at gunpoint.
Meanwhile, four other victims were also abducted by the attackers while they were leaving the neighbourhood.
Following the incident, a resident, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the abduction of the proprietor was due to informants in Odo-Ore.
“The attack on Alhaji Yusuf can be attributed to the handiwork of informants, because they went straight to his residence to abduct him.
She added that “He was preparing to sleep around 11 p.m. when they forced their way through his gate, broke the main door of his house, and took him away.”
The Kwara State Police Command however, is yet to respond or verify the development.
Meanwhile, this comes amid multiple attacks across different communities in the state.
