Terrorists have struck again in Kwara State, abducting at least three residents in two separate attacks in the last 12 hours. A popular Point of Sale (POS) agent, identified as Yman, was kidnapped on Sunday night in Lafiagi town, while two Hausa men were taken during a violent raid on Kokodo village in the early hours of Monday, June 30, 2025?.
A third person, a young girl, narrowly escaped capture after fleeing into nearby bushes. Community sources confirmed the incidents describing a climate of worsening insecurity and helplessness in Kwara North. The attacks are becoming too rampant, with nobody heard from the kidnappers yet.
The latest abductions come barely a day after the news of the abduction of a prominent agro-chemical dealer, popularly known as Alhaji Chemical, in Lafiagi town. The victim was reportedly kidnapped from his residence by heavily armed men suspected to be bandits. Eyewitness accounts suggest the attackers overpowered the local vigilantes guarding the area with superior firepower before whisking Alhaji Chemical away to an unknown destination.
Residents are calling on security agencies to act swiftly to secure Alhaji Chemical’s safe release and to stem the growing tide of abductions that have continued to unsettle the area. The Kwara State Police Command had also confirmed two tragic incidents of violent attacks that left three people dead in Patigi Local Government Area during the early hours of Tuesday, June 25, 2025.
