Less than 72 hours after the Federal Government secured the release of CAC congregants in Eruku, Kwara State, fresh tension has enveloped Isapa community in the Ekiti Local Government Area as terrorists struck again on Monday evening, abducting a pregnant woman, 10 children, two nursing mothers, and several others.
The quiet agrarian community, located a short distance from Eruku — another town recently hit by kidnappers — was thrown into panic around 6 p.m. on November 24, 2025, when an estimated 20 to 30 armed bandits stormed the area, firing sporadically as they advanced with a large herd of cattle.
Residents scampered for safety as gunshots echoed across the town. An elderly woman was reportedly hit by a stray bullet during the chaos.
According to reports by National Pilot and accounts from community leaders, at least 11 people were abducted, including seven members of one family. The victims include a pregnant woman, two nursing mothers, and several young children.
Those kidnapped have been identified as:
Talatu Kabiru,Magaji,Kande, Hadiza, Mariam, Saima, Habibat (housewife)
Fatima Yusufu (housewife)
Sarah Sunday (pregnant woman)
Lami Fidelis (nursing mother), Haja Na Allah.
Eyewitnesses said the attackers moved through several parts of the community, leaving behind shattered doors, bullet-riddled walls, and spent AK-47 shells later recovered by residents.
The incident has heightened fears across Ekiti LGA, which has suffered repeated attacks in recent months. Community members are calling on security agencies and the Kwara State Government to intervene urgently and ensure the safe return of the abducted victims.
Security authorities had yet to issue an official statement at the time of filing this report.
