Barely 48 hours after terrorists killed over 40 people in Agwara and Borgu Local Government Areas of Niger State, suspected terrorists struck again in the early hours of yesterday along the busy Isanlu–Isin–Omu Aran road in Kwara State. The attackers reportedly ambushed travellers on the highway, kidnapping at least four persons and heightening fears of escalating violence across the region.

The attack has raised fresh concerns among residents and commuters who rely on the road for daily movement and commercial activities. Security sources said the timing and location of the assault suggest a coordinated spread of terror operations following the deadly Niger State incidents, further exposing vulnerabilities in inter-state transport corridors.

With communities still mourning the Niger killings, the Kwara attack has deepened anxiety over safety and the effectiveness of current security measures. As kidnappings and mass killings continue to spread across states, can authorities contain the growing threat before it spirals further out of control? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news
