Gunmen have attacked a family in an Edo State community, killing a man and abducting his twin children. The incident has left residents in shock and raised fresh concerns about growing insecurity in the area.

According to local sources, the attackers stormed the neighbourhood at night, forced their way into the family’s home, and carried out the attack before fleeing with the twins. The identity of the gunmen and their motive are still unknown.

Community leaders have condemned the incident and called on security agencies to act quickly. Residents say they now live in fear and want stronger patrols and faster response from law enforcement.

Police authorities have confirmed the incident and said an investigation is ongoing. They urged members of the public to remain calm, avoid spreading rumours, and provide any useful information that could help rescue the children and arrest the suspects.
