An unidentified person has reportedly been injured while one other was killed on Thursday when bandits invaded the Oreke-Okegbo community in the Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara state.

Newnaija reports that the fully armed bandits dressed in military uniforms invaded the community at about 7:00 p.m.

A credible source said, “they shot one person at Awere River, and all efforts made by Kabiesi Oloreke to contact the army at Oro Ago proved abortive.”

However, in a phone chat with Newnaija in Ilorin on Sunday, Kabiyesi of Oreke, Oba Joseph Sunday Afolabi, 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 in the area and in the process produced a gun to actualise their mission.

“After the attack, they got stuck at Awere river after 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 the Hausa language, I suspect they are foreign nationals from neighbouring countries,” he added.

In a reaction, the spokesperson of the State Police Command, DSP Ejire Adeyemi Toun, informed that “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 properties of Kwarans.

“Further developments will be communicated soon,” she added.
