Bandit Attack Empties Omugo Village in Kwara State (VIDEO)—-Residents of Omugo community in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State have reportedly fled their homes following a fresh wave of bandit attacks, worsening security fears in the area.
The latest incident comes days after armed men stormed a church in the community, abducting several worshippers during a service and throwing residents into panic.
Sources say the repeated attacks have forced the villagers to abandon their homes over fears of further violence, leaving the community deserted.
Security operatives, alongside local vigilantes, have since launched rescue operations, successfully freeing some abducted victims, while efforts continue to secure the release of others.
The Kwara State Government condemned the attack, describing it as a cowardly act, and assured residents that security agencies are intensifying efforts to track down the perpetrators.
The development adds to growing concerns over rising insecurity in parts of Kwara, following earlier deadly attacks in nearby communities that left scores dead and displaced many residents.
With fear gripping Omugo, many residents remain displaced as authorities work to restore calm and prevent further attacks.
