Three security personnel have been killed and two others injured following an attack by suspected terrorists on Tenobo village in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State.
The incident was disclosed in a post shared on X on Saturday night by security analyst Zagazola Makama.
According to the report, the attack occurred at about 1:10 a.m. on May 1 when armed men stormed the community and engaged security operatives stationed in the area.
Security sources said troops of the 22 Brigade, alongside other operatives, forest guards, and vigilantes, swiftly responded after receiving a distress alert.
Preliminary findings revealed that three security personnel were killed during the attack, while two Mobile Police officers sustained gunshot injuries.
“The attackers were also said to have escaped with two AK-47 rifles and one riot gun after the operation,” Makama stated.
The injured personnel, along with the bodies of the deceased, were evacuated to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital for treatment and further procedures.
Security agencies have since launched follow-up operations aimed at tracking down the attackers and recovering the stolen weapons.
