Just In: Travellers Stranded as Terrorists Launch Attack on Eruku–Egbe Road in Kwara — Sahara Reporters
Terrorists reportedly launched an attack on travellers along the Eruku–Egbe road in the Eruku area of Ekiti Local Government, Kwara State, on Monday, forcing vehicles to a halt.
According to footage obtained by SaharaReporters, several buses and trucks were seen parked by the roadside as commuters fled into nearby bushes for safety.
An eyewitness confirmed that the attackers were still active in the area as of Monday afternoon, advising motorists to avoid the route until security operatives restore order.
This latest incident comes after gunmen attacked a commercial bus on Sunday along the Ayere–Kabba road in Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State, killing one passenger and injuring several others.
The attack reportedly occurred around 5pm when armed men ambushed travellers on the busy road. While some vehicles escaped, many passengers were shot.
“One person was confirmed dead at the general hospital, while others are being treated for gunshot wounds,” a source said.
Residents say the Ayere–Kabba and Eruku–Egbe corridors have increasingly become hotspots for armed attacks, with gangs believed to be operating between Kogi and Kwara States.
