The wave of insecurity in Kwara State has escalated further with the abduction of two brothers by bandits while working on their cassava farm in Edu Local Government Area. The attack occurred on Wednesday at Bokungi Zambufu community under the Lafiagi Emirate. Eyewitnesses said the assailants stormed the farmland and opened fire “sporadically,” forcing villagers to flee. The two brothers were unable to escape and were taken away by the gunmen. One of the victims has been identified as Mohammed Mohammed, a prominent community figure and former President of the National Association of Nupe Students (NANUS). The report noted that the incident has heightened fears among farmers in Kwara North, many of whom already face severe threats from recurring kidnappings. Residents have accused authorities of failing to address the rising wave of attacks, warning that agricultural activities in the area are under grave threat.
