Gunmen in Army Uniform Invade Kwara Community, One Killed, Another Injured
Punch reports that an unidentified individual was tragically killed, and another person injured last Thursday when gunmen, reportedly dressed in army uniforms, stormed the Oreke-Okegbo community in Ifelodun Local Government Area, Kwara State.
According to information gathered, the heavily armed attackers invaded the community at approximately 7:00 p.m., spreading fear and chaos among the residents.
According to a credible source, “The gunmen shot one person at the Awere river, and all efforts made by the monarch of the town, Oloreke of Oreke, to contact the army stationed at Oro Ago proved abortive.”
However, the monarch, Oba Sunday Afolabi, Oloreke of Oreke, in a telephone chat, confirmed the attack, saying, “One person was shot and injured, while one other was killed.
“The bandits including a woman came into my community from a nearby neighbourhood and encountered some guards protecting some Chinese nationals working in a mining site in the area and snatched a gun to carry out their mission.
“After the attack, they got stuck at the Awere river after the Babanla town as the river was full and they could not cross, until the following morning when they were able to escape.
“They are not herdsmen, though they spoke Hausa language. I suspect they are foreign nationals from neighbouring countries”, he added.
The Kwara State Police Command spokesperson, Ejire-Adeyemi Toun, said the command was aware of the incident and was working to arrest the criminals.
She said, “The command is aware of this information. Investigations have long begun to ascertain its authenticity.
“Notwithstanding, all security measures have been emplaced to protect the lives and property of the people in Kwara State. Further developments on the matter will be communicated soon”, she added.
