Terrorists stormed a farmland in Babanla community, Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, on February 25, 2026, and abducted four members of the same family.
The attackers first seized five people, including an elderly man.
They later released the elderly victim and carried away the remaining four relatives.
Community sources confirm the incident occurred during routine farm work, heightening fear among local farmers who already face frequent threats.
This latest raid adds to the mounting insecurity gripping Kwara’s rural areas.
Terrorists have repeatedly targeted agrarian communities like Babanla, forcing many residents to abandon their fields.
Previous attacks in the region—including deadly incursions that killed civilians, looted properties, and displaced entire villages—have disrupted food production and livelihoods.
Residents express deep frustration over the persistent violence.
Many demand immediate, decisive action from security agencies and the state government to restore safety.
Public outcry on social media echoes calls for stronger protection, with users questioning why authorities have not yet curbed the escalating terror.
No group has claimed responsibility for the February 25 abduction so far, and officials have not released an official statement or details on rescue efforts.
The incident underscores the urgent need for enhanced security measures in Kwara’s vulnerable farming zones before more families suffer similar fates.
