At least eight residents have been abducted in renewed attacks by suspected bandits in parts of Kwara State, following coordinated raids on two communities within days, heightening fear and insecurity among residents.
Starnews NG gathered that the first attack occurred on Monday at about 6:30 a.m. at Gaa Jimoh community in Ijara Isin, Isin Local Government Area, where heavily armed men reportedly invaded the area in large numbers.

Those abducted were identified as Adebayo Saheed, Adebayo Fatimah, Adebayo Salamat, Ibrahim Mohammed, and Ibrahim Yusuf.
A resident said the attackers struck early in the morning while residents were preparing for the day.

Local sources said no fewer than five armed kidnappers stormed the community, firing sporadically to intimidate residents before abducting three people.
