Gunmen Suspected To Be Terrorists Invade Kwara Lawmaker’s Home, Abduct Wife, Chi by iwaeda: 3:40pm On Oct 17, 2023
When contacted, the spokesman for the Kwara state police command, Ajayi Okasanmi, also confirmed the attack.

Suspected terrorists have abducted the wife and two children of the lawmaker representing Ipaiye/Malete/Olooru of Moro Local Government Area in the Kwara State House of Assembly.




Daily Trust gathered that the gunmen invaded the lawmaker’s residence on Monday midnight.



A community leader was quoted by the newspaper as saying that “the abductors came in their numbers shooting sporadically before whisking the victims away into the nearby bush”.




“Their whereabouts have remained unknown although one of them who contacted the family was yet to make a demand for ransom, saying he was not with the others in the forest yet to harmonise the agreed price.



“But in the meantime, the lawmaker has been advised to relocate from the town,” the source added.



The lawmaker did not answer when called on Tuesday but the leader of the state vigilantes, Alhaji Ibrahim Saka, confirmed the invasion, saying, “Yes, it’s true and we have dispatched some of our men to comb the forest for their possible rescue’”



When contacted, the spokesman for the Kwara state police command, Ajayi Okasanmi, also confirmed the attack.



He however added, “Details are still sketchy but I will get back as soon as we have a comprehensive update on the incident.”



This new invasion is the second time that the lawmaker’s family have fallen victim to kidnappers.



Last September, his wife and one of his sons were also been kidnapped but they were rescued by the police after the payment of an undisclosed amount of ransom.



At the time, Okasanmi said two of their abductors were killed inside a forest in Moro while they were sharing the ransom collected from their victims’ families.



“The kidnappers were accosted in the bush while sharing the ransom collected from the family of the victims,” he said.

This was how we began to read sketchy stories of pockets of violence and kidnaps in the North Central States of Benue and Nasarawa when Buhari took the reins. Until the events overwhelmingly blew to uncontrollable spates of violence bordering on ethnic cleansing and land tussles.

Same way supporters of Buhari kept downplaying things from the beginning and attributing them to figments of the imaginations of bitter opponents, is the same way Tinubu supporters are playing politics with what's going in certain South West states right now.

Your Muslim(x2) ticket is already emboldening criminals of fulani extractions and they're slowly perpetuating societal ills in Yoruba lands, yet Tinubu's supporters are busy paying lip service and insulting others with pretentious rhetorics.

My only worry is the fact that SS borders Yoruba states and this menace is capable of exploding into our region when the chickens begin to roost. Otherwise, na to just sidon watch fulani people run una comot for una ancestral lands like they've done to certain areas of the middle belt.

Make una continue dey play politics with everything. Kwara state is potently looking like a conquered state already. Next is Oyo.

Igbos have halted their advance and confined them to Benue. SS should watch their boarder with yorubaland
