Police tactical teams and local vigilantes have launched a search-and-rescue operation for ten persons abducted during a fresh attack on Isapa community near Obbo-Ile Village, Kwara State, on Monday, November 24, 2025.
The Police Command in Kwara State spokesperson, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, said a distress call was received around 6:30 p.m. after armed attackers, suspected to be herders, stormed the village around 6:05 p.m, shooting indiscriminately, adding that a woman who was wounded in the leg was treated and discharged.
