At least 11 residents have been reportedly kidnapped in Isapa, a neighbouring community to Eruku in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State where 38 worshippers were abducted and later released, barely a week ago.

It was gathered that the latest attack occurred around 6pm yesterday when between 20 and 30 bandits stormed the quiet agrarian settlement with a large herd of cattle, shooting indiscriminately as residents fled for safety.

Speaking to journalists under strict anonymity, a community leader confirmed that 11 persons were abducted, with seven of them belonging to a single family.

According to him, the kidnapped victims include a pregnant woman, two nursing mothers and children.

Identities of the abducted individuals have been identified as: Talatu Kabiru (Female, 20), Magaji (Male, 6), Kande (Female, 5), Hadiza (Female, 10), Mariam (Female, 6)

‎Others included ‎Saima (Female, 5), a housewife, Habibat, a housewife, Fatima Yusufu, a pregnant woman, Sarah Sunday (Female, 22), Lami Fidelis (Female, 23, nursing mother), and Haja Na Allah (Nursing mother).

‎Eyewitness accounts had it that the attackers moved through parts of the town, leaving bullet holes in walls and doors.

Expended AK-47 shells were found scattered across the community after the gunmen fled. ‎Police authorities are yet to issue an official statement on the incident.

This is so concerning. Isapa must be going through a tough time with the recent kidnapping after releasing 38 worshippers. The community is probably shaken up again.
