Two Chinese nationals working on the BUA Bode Saadu–Kaiama–Kosubosu multi-billion-naira road project in Kwara State were kidnapped over the weekend by suspected bandits.
The incident occurred along the Bode Saadu axis of Moro Local Government Area. According to community sources, the armed bandits stormed the construction site, shooting sporadically before whisking the victims into the forest.
Residents of Ejidongari, where the victims were working before the attack, said the assault caused panic as gunfire erupted without warning. As of Sunday, the abductors had not made any ransom demand.
Confirming the incident, the Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Adekimi Ojo, said officers have been deployed and are working “round the clock” to secure the release of the kidnapped expatriates.
He urged members of the public to support security agencies with credible information to help curb bandit activities in the state.
