Suspected Terrorists Abduct Travellers on Isanlu-Isin-Omu Aran Road

Date: 2026-01-06

Suspected terrorists have attacked the busy Isanlu-Isin-Omu Aran road in Kwara State, abducting at least four travellers.

It was gathered that the incident took place in the early hours of Monday when armed men ambushed motorists along the highway, a major route connecting communities in Kwara South to the state capital, Ilorin.

A source with knowledge of the incident disclosed that the attackers operated without hindrance on the road, compelling vehicles to stop before taking passengers to an undisclosed location.

"Bandits are still heavily present in the area and are actively targeting travellers heading towards Ilorin," the source said.

As at the time of filing this report, the Kwara State Police Command had not issued any official statement confirming the attack or outlining efforts to rescue the abducted victims.

Kwara State has witnessed a surge in insecurity in recent months, with multiple major kidnapping incidents occurring within a few months.

On November 18, 2025, gunmen attacked a Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) branch in Eruku during its midweek service, killing three worshippers, abducting 38 members, including the pastor, and throwing the congregation into panic and chaos.

The abducted victims were later released; however, terrorist attacks are still on the rise in the North-Central state.
