Some gunmen, who are yet to be identified, have raided the Isapa community in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, abducting a pregnant woman, ten children, two nursing mothers, and several others.
It was gathered that an estimated 20 to 30 armed bandits invaded the community, advancing with a large herd of cattle and firing sporadically.
A stray bullet reportedly struck an elderly woman during the assault.
A community leader who confirmed the incident told National Pilot that 11 people were abducted, including seven members of the same family.
The abducted individuals have been identified as: Talatu Kabiru, Magaji, Kande, Hadiza, Mariam, Saima, Habibat (a housewife), Fatima Yusufu (a housewife), Sarah Sunday (pregnant woman), Lami Fidelis (a nursing mother), and Haja Na Allah.
The attackers reportedly escaped through bush paths connecting Eruku to neighbouring communities, leaving residents in panic and confusion.
The attack comes barely two weeks after bandits struck the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), kidnapping 38 members, while others reportedly died during the assault.
However, all 38 abducted victims from the church incident have reportedly been rescued.
