BREAKING: Terrorists Suspected To Be Planning Coordinated Attacks On Three Kwara South LGAs As Security Agencies Placed On Alert

Ilorin, Kwara State– Residents of three Local Government Areas in Kwara South Senatorial District have been placed on high alert following intelligence reports suggesting that terrorists and bandits may be planning coordinated attacks in parts of the state later this month.

The affected Local Government Areas include Ifelodun, Irepodun and Isin.

Afrika Eyes  gathered  that  the suspected attackers are allegedly planning to launch simultaneous attacks in the three local government areas on March 23, 2026, and again on March 28.

Meanwhile, residents and community leaders have been advised to remain cautious and report suspicious activities as authorities move to prevent any possible attack.

In a security alert issued on Saturday, the Coordinator of the Joint Security Watch, Elder Olaitan Oyin-Zubair, warned residents about the potential threat and urged them to cooperate with security agencies.

According to him, security authorities across the state have already been informed about the possible attacks and are taking steps to safeguard residents.

The statement read:”In view of the speculative bandits attacks on March 23, 2026 and March 28th, authorities including the Kwara State Police Command, Chairmen of Ifelodun, Irepodun, and Isin Local Government Areas, and other security agencies have been notified and are taking necessary precautions to protect citizens.”

He further urged members of the public to stay vigilant and actively assist security agencies by reporting unusual activities within their communities.

“We urge everyone to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities.”

Elder Oyin-Zubair stressed that community cooperation is critical to preventing security breaches and protecting lives and property.

“Your safety is our priority. Let’s work together to keep our communities safe.”

“Stay safe, stay alert.”

The alert comes amid rising concerns over banditry and armed attacks spreading from Nigeria’s North-West and North-Central regions into previously less affected areas.

Although the kwara state police command have yet to officially confirm the intelligence, security operatives are said to be monitoring the situation closely while taking precautionary measures across the affected local government areas.
