Boxing Day celebration went sour Friday night in Adanla Community, a suburb of Igbaja in Ifelodun local government area of Kwara State, as suspected bandits invaded the community and abducted no fewer than eight persons and injured several others during the continuation of the Christmas celebration.
Vanguard reliably gathered that the attack, which occurred around 7pm on the fateful day, threw the otherwise peaceful agrarian community into fear and mourning, as many of the victims were said to be indigenes who had returned home for the Yuletide.
A community leader in Igbaja and coordinator of the Kwara South Joint Community Security Watch Network, Elder Olaitan Oyin-Zubair, confirmed the incident to journalists on Saturday.
