*Offa Axis: Armed Assailants Storm PMF Camp in Early Morning Raid*  

*Ilorin, Kwara State — May 2, 2026*  

Suspected terrorists attacked a Police Mobile Force (PMF) camp in Kwara State early Saturday, killing three officers and leaving two others with injuries, security sources confirmed.  

The assault occurred at dawn when heavily armed assailants stormed the PMF formation located along the Offa axis. The attackers opened fire on the camp, leading to an exchange of gunfire that lasted several minutes before the gunmen withdrew.  

Three personnel were confirmed dead at the scene. Two injured officers were evacuated to a nearby medical facility and are currently receiving treatment. Their conditions have not yet been disclosed.  

*Security Response*  

The Kwara State Police Command has deployed additional tactical teams to the area. A joint operation involving the military, police, and local vigilantes is underway to track the attackers.  

The Commissioner of Police has visited the camp and ordered a full investigation. Reinforcements have been stationed at strategic points to prevent further attacks and reassure residents.  

*Context*  

This incident marks a worrying escalation in the north-central corridor, where Kwara has previously recorded lower levels of insurgent activity compared to neighboring states. Security analysts say the attack on a PMF base indicates growing boldness by armed groups.  

*Official Statement Awaited*  

The Nigeria Police Force is expected to issue a formal statement with casualty names and operational details after next-of-kin notifications are completed.  

*Situation Developing*  

Residents in Offa and surrounding communities have been urged to remain vigilant and report suspicious movements to security agencies.  

*Bottom Line*  

The attack underscores the persistent threat to security formations and the need for enhanced intelligence, perimeter fortification, and rapid-response capability across vulnerable bases.
