BREAKING: Terrorists Attack Another Kwara Community, Abduct Four Farmers Day After Eruku Invasion

Terrorists have launched yet another attack in Kwara State, abducting four rice farmers in Bokungi Village, Edu Local Government Area.

This is barely 24 hours after gunmen invaded a church in Eruku, Ekiti LGA.

Sources told SaharaReporters that the latest incident occurred on Wednesday evening while the victims were working on their rice farms during the peak of the harvest season.

According to a community source, the attackers arrived suddenly and surrounded the farmers as they were gathering their harvested rice.

“It has been confirmed that bandits struck again at Bokungi under the Lafiagi Emirate. Four people were abducted. Information is still emerging,” the source said.

Residents said the gunmen operated for several minutes without resistance, forcing the farmers into the nearby bush before whisking them away toward an unknown destination.

Community members told SaharaReporters that rising insecurity in Edu LGA has left several farming settlements deserted, as farmers fear attacks during the harvest period — a time when they are most vulnerable on the fields.

The Kwara State Police Command had yet to issue an official statement as of the time of filing this report.

SaharaReporters previously reported that panic and tears swept through Eruku town in the Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State on Tuesday evening as terrorists stormed a branch of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), killing three worshippers and abducting several others, including the pastor.

Sources told SaharaReporters that the attackers invaded the church during a meeting and immediately opened fire, sending worshippers running for cover.

Three members were shot dead on the spot before the assailants seized an unspecified number of people.

“The gunmen came in suddenly and started shooting. Three people were killed instantly,” one source said. “They gathered others at gunpoint and marched them into the bush. We still don’t know the exact number taken.”

The attackers reportedly escaped through bush paths that connect Eruku to neighbouring communities, leaving residents in panic and confusion. (SaharaReporters)
