The Mahmuda terror group has reportedly killed three persons in a fresh attack on a community in Kwara North senatorial district of the state.
The attack, according to reports, was launched while the local hunters of the community were in Ilorin, the state capital, for a national forest guard training approved by the presidency, aimed at providing security for members of the communities.
It was gathered that members of the new terror group launched the fresh attack on Duruma village in Baruten Local Government Area of Kwara State on Tuesday morning and slaughtered the three villagers.
The three villagers who were killed by the terrorists were immediately buried by the community.
According to reports, the terrorists carried out the heinous act despite the presence of soldiers who are currently in flashpoint areas of the affected communities.
In April, the Chief of Army Staff visited the areas, following which soldiers were deployed to the thick forests to flush out the terrorists, of which 12 were arrested.
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who also visited the troubled communities, reportedly provided 25 motorcycles to local hunters as logistics to complement the efforts of the soldiers.
However, the locals disclosed that members of the terrorist group never left the areas but were incapacitated by the presence of the soldiers and local hunters who had been providing support for the military
