Terrorists have once again unleashed bloodshed in Kwara State, killing a pregnant woman, abducting no fewer than 18 residents, and rustling dozens of cattle in coordinated attacks on multiple communities. The latest assault occurred in the early hours of Tuesday when over 40 armed men stormed Motokun village in Patigi Local Government Area on motorcycles, shooting sporadically and leaving villagers fleeing for their lives. A resident who spoke, described the terrifying invasion. “They invaded our communities shooting guns sporadically. A pregnant woman was killed instantly, and several people were taken away by the attackers. They came in large numbers on motorcycles, each with sophisticated weapons,” the resident said. Sources confirmed that at least eight residents were kidnapped in Motokun, while another set of gunmen simultaneously attacked Fanagun village in Tsaragi Emirate, where three Fulani men and their cattle were abducted. The terrorists reportedly rustled dozens of cows during the twin attacks, further deepening the economic hardship of local communities already battered by rising insecurity. Villagers say the attackers operated freely for hours without confrontation from security operatives.
