Armed Bandits Abduct Two Women in Midnight Raid on Kwara Village

Armed bandits stormed a rural Kwara State community during a midnight attack, abducting two women from their homes. The incident has left residents in fear and prompted urgent calls for increased security measures.

The attackers reportedly targeted the women’s residences under cover of darkness, successfully taking both victims before fleeing the area. Local sources confirm the abductions occurred in the early morning hours, catching the community off guard.

“The quiet rural community has been thrown into panic,” according to NupekoTV-Lafiagi, which first reported the incident. Residents now face heightened anxiety as they grapple with the security breach in their previously peaceful neighborhood.

The identities of the abducted women remain undisclosed, and authorities have not yet released details about potential ransom demands or the bandits’ motives. Local security forces have reportedly begun search operations to locate the victims and apprehend the perpetrators.

This attack adds to growing concerns about bandit activities across Nigeria’s Middle Belt region. Kwara State has experienced periodic security challenges, with rural communities particularly vulnerable to such raids due to limited security presence.

Community leaders are expected to meet with security agencies to discuss protective measures. The incident highlights ongoing security gaps that leave remote villages exposed to criminal elements operating across state boundaries.
