Five people have been killed by suspected terrorists within the last 24 hours in the Baruten Local Government Area of Kwara State.
A resident of the Karonzi community, who spoke with Channels Television via telephone, confirmed that two Fulani individuals were slaughtered on Wednesday evening around 8 pm in a hamlet near the village.
He added that the incident forced other residents in the area to flee to nearby communities for safety.
In a separate attack on Thursday at about 4 pm, a group of twelve armed men reportedly emerged from the bush and ambushed a motorcycle carrying three passengers in another village within the same local government.
All three individuals were killed on the spot.
