A pregnant woman, ten children, two nursing moms, and several others were abducted by unidentified gunmen who raided the Isapa community in Kwara State’s Ekiti Local Government Area.
An estimated 20 to 30 armed bandits were reported to have broken into the neighbourhood, moving forward with a sizable herd of cattle and firing intermittently.
During the attack, an elderly woman was reportedly hit by a stray bullet.
Following the attack, eleven people were kidnapped, including seven members of the same family, according to a village official who confirmed the occurrence to National Pilot.
The abducted individuals have been identified as: Talatu Kabiru, Magaji, Kande, Hadiza, Mariam, Saima, Habibat (a housewife), Fatima Yusufu (a housewife), Sarah Sunday (pregnant woman), Lami Fidelis (a nursing mother), and Haja Na Allah.
The attackers reportedly escaped through bush paths connecting Eruku to neighbouring communities, leaving residents in panic and confusion.
The attack comes barely two weeks after bandits attacked the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), kidnapping 38 members, while others reportedly died during the assault.
However, all 38 abducted victims from the church incident have reportedly been rescued.
