Gunmen suspected to be bandits have again struck in Isapa, a settlement near Eruku in the Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, abducting many residents.
It was gathered that bandits carried out the attack at about 6 p.m. on Monday, November 24, 2025.
The latest incident occurred less than 24 hours after worshippers abducted from the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) in Eruku regained their freedom.
Gunmen had stormed the church, killing three people and abducting 38 others.
It was gathered that Monday’s attack on Isapa was carried out by a group of between 20 and 30 armed men.
The assailants were said to have shot indiscriminately, as residents scampered for safety.
