BREAKING: Terrorists Abduct At Least Four Travellers In Fresh Attack On Isanlu–Omu Aran Road In Kwara
Bandits are still heavily present in the area and are actively targeting travellers heading towards Ilorin.
Ilorin, Kwara State– Suspected terrorists have attacked the busy Isanlu–Isin–Omu Aran road in Kwara State, kidnapping at least four travellers.
Afrika Eyes gathered that the incident occurred in the early hours of Monday, when armed men ambushed motorists along the highway, a key route linking communities in Kwara South to the state capital, Ilorin.
A source familiar with the incident told Afrika Eyes that the attackers operated freely on the road, forcing vehicles to stop before whisking the passengers to an unknown location.
“Bandits are still heavily present in the area and are actively targeting travellers heading towards Ilorin,” the source said.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official statement from the Kwara State Police Command confirming the attack or detailing efforts to rescue the abducted victims.
Motorists and commuters have been advised to avoid the Isanlu–Omu Aran axis for now and to exercise extreme caution, as fears grow over the deteriorating security situation in the area.
