Suspected terrorists have attacked the busy Isanlu–Isin–Omu Aran road in Kwara State, kidnapping at least four travellers.
It was gathered that the incident occurred in the early hours of Monday, when armed men ambushed motorists along the highway, a key route linking communities in Kwara South to the state capital, Ilorin.
A source familiar with the incident said that the attackers operated freely on the road, forcing vehicles to stop before whisking the passengers to an unknown location.
“Bandits are still heavily present in the area and are actively targeting travellers heading towards Ilorin,” the source said.
