On a quiet Monday evening in Isapa, Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, the sound of gunfire shattered the calm. Around 6pm on November 24, 2025, a group of 20 to 30 armed bandits descended upon the rural community, their arrival marked by a stampede of cattle and the chilling echo of sporadic shots fired into the air and at homes. The violence was swift and targeted. An elderly woman was wounded by a stray bullet, while panic swept through the town as families scrambled for cover. When the chaos subsided, the full scale of the attack came into view: eleven residents had been abducted, including seven members of a single family. Among those taken were a pregnant woman, two nursing mothers, and several children. The victims, now missing, have been named by local sources as Talatu Kabiru, Magaji, Kande, Hadiza, Mariam, Saima, Habibat (a housewife), Fatima Yusufu (a housewife), Sarah Sunday (pregnant woman), Lami Fidelis (a nursing mother), and Haja Na Allah. The gunmen’s path through Isapa was evident in the bullet holes left behind on walls and doors. Expended AK-47 shells littered the streets after the assailants melted away into the night. This latest abduction comes on the heels of another harrowing incident in nearby Eruku, where terrorists stormed a Christ Apostolic Church branch, opening fire on worshippers and killing three people before abducting others, including the pastor. Eyewitnesses in Eruku recounted how the attackers burst into a church meeting, sent congregants fleeing for their lives, and marched their captives into the bush at gunpoint. The two attacks, linked by proximity and the audacity of the perpetrators, have left a trail of fear, grief, and unanswered questions. Residents in both Isapa and Eruku are now gripped by uncertainty, their communities scarred by violence and searching for answers as authorities continue their investigation. Source: Apexnewsgh.com
