Heavy tension has gripped Kwara State after gunmen launched a fresh attack on the Gbugbu community on Sunday.
Fear has taken over the Gbugbu community in the Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State following a violent invasion by suspected terrorists on Sunday.
The quiet town was thrown into chaos as the sound of heavy gunfire forced residents to run for their lives.
According to local sources, the attackers arrived in large numbers and began shooting sporadically as they moved through the area. The sudden violence left many families trapped in their homes, while others managed to escape into the nearby bushes for safety.
As of the time of this report, there are no confirmed details on the number of casualties. It is also unclear if any residents were kidnapped, as the gunmen were reportedly still ransacking parts of the village long after the initial entry.
One resident, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, described the scene as terrifying. He noted that the gunshots lasted for hours, leaving the entire community in a state of shock and confusion.
This latest raid is part of a worrying trend of insecurity in the Edu Local Government Area. In recent months, the region has faced multiple attacks leading to loss of life, abductions, and the destruction of properties.
The local population is now calling on the state government and security agencies to take immediate action. They are pleading for a permanent security presence to protect lives and prevent further invasions.
At this moment, the Kwara State Police Command and other security officials are yet to issue a formal statement regarding the incident.
