They were heavily armed and we couldn't do much to stop them," he said. The resident also expressed fear for their safety, urging the federal and state governments to intervene.
This latest attack is part of a growing trend of kidnappings and banditry in Kwara State. In a recent incident, terrorists attacked the Gbugbu community, killing two residents, abducting a trader, and shooting a young girl.
