LEADERSHIP recalls that gunmen had on 31st July killed three travellers at Ganmu village, near Babanla, and abducted another two persons.

The Kwara State Police Command on Sunday confirmed that Babanla community was attacked on Friday with five persons comprising a police man killed in the process.
‎
“On 8th August 2025, armed criminals numbering in their hundreds, riding on motorcycles, invaded Babanla community in Ifelodun local government area, attacked the Divisional Police Headquarters and raided the market.

“The assailants fired sporadically, killing 5 people, including a police officer, Adejumo Wasiu,” the spokesperson of Kwara Police Command Toun Ejire- Adeyemi said in a statement.

She said that a swift and coordinated response by police operatives, soldiers, vigilantes, and local hunters repelled the attack, restored order, and initiated a full-scale manhunt for the perpetrators.
‎
“Today (Sunday), the Commissioner of Police, Kwara State Command, CP Adekimi Ojo, accompanied by the Director of the Department of State Services (DSS) Kwara State Command, paid an on-the-spot assessment visit to the Babanla Community to evaluate the security situation,” Ejire-Adeyemi said.
