Residents of Igbosi Quarters in Idogun, Ose Local Government Area of Ondo State, were thrown into panic in the early hours of Friday after armed men stormed the community, abducted a nine-year-old boy and damaged residential buildings during the attack.
The assailants reportedly invaded the area around 1 a.m., firing gunshots into the air as frightened residents scrambled for safety.
The attack forced many villagers to abandon their homes and flee into nearby communities to avoid being caught in the violence.
During the invasion, the gunmen allegedly targeted the residence of a local pastor, Isaac Olaosebikan. His son, identified as Oluwatobi, was taken away by the attackers after they gained access to the area.
Community sources said the operation lasted for several minutes, with the armed men moving through parts of the settlement while residents hid in bushes and surrounding areas. Two buildings were also vandalised during the incident, leaving property damaged
