A resident of Esun Tauheed in the Lafiagi Emirate of Kwara State, abducted during a bandit attack last week, has been confirmed dead, deepening fears in the violence-plagued region.
The victim, identified as Abdullahi Tsowa, was seized during a late-night raid on the outskirts of the community.
According to local reports by NupekoTv-Lafiagi, Tsowa attempted to escape by climbing into the ceiling of the house but was caught by the assailants, while two of his friends managed to flee with injuries.
The exact circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear, but community members say the killing has turned what began as a kidnapping into a tragic murder.
Similar attacks have recently targeted neighbouring villages such as Lataworo and Gbugbu.
Residents in Kwara North continue to live under the threat of armed criminal gangs, with repeated attacks fuelling fear, sorrow, and frustration over worsening insecurity.
Further details about Tsowa’s death are expected as authorities and local sources provide more information.
