Bandits struck again on Friday morning in the Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State, attacking two brothers working on their farmland in Lema community.
One of the victims was killed on the spot, while the other sustained severe, life-threatening injuries.
According to reports by Nupeko TV, the assailants stormed the farmland, located just a short distance from the main settlement.
The latest incident highlights the deepening insecurity in the Lafiagi Emirate and across Kwara North, where farmers and residents face growing risks of attacks even near their homes.
The injured survivor is currently receiving emergency medical care, while the community mourns the loss of his brother.
Further details are expected as authorities and local security groups continue to respond at the scene.
