A farmer has been killed, another injured, and a third abducted following an attack by armed men on a farmland in the Lema community, Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State.

Security analyst Zagazola Makama disclosed the incident in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, stating that the attack occurred at around 12:41 p.m. on Thursday at Gaga farmland.

According to Makama, the victims Mallam Sode Alhassan, 42; Musa Adama, 35; and Ndanuruh Aminu, 30 were working on their groundnut farm when gunmen armed with AK-47 rifles opened fire without warning.

Alhassan was shot dead at the scene, Aminu sustained a shoulder injury, and Adama was abducted and taken to an unknown location.

Makama confirmed that security operatives later visited the scene to conduct investigations.

"The injured victim was taken to the General Hospital in Share for treatment, while the deceased was moved to the hospital's mortuary," he wrote.

He added that a combined team of soldiers, police officers, vigilantes, and local hunters had been deployed to comb nearby bushes in search of the abducted farmer and track down the attackers.
