Governors AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq (Kwara State), Usman Ododo (Kogi State), and Biodun Oyebanji (Ekiti State) on Sunday visited victims of last week’s terrorist attack on Woro community in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State, who are receiving treatment at the General Hospital, Ilorin.
The visit followed Tuesday’s deadly assault on Woro and neighbouring Nuku communities, which claimed over 100 lives and displaced more residents, heightening security concerns across the North-Central region.
Speaking with journalists at the Government House, Ilorin, Governor Oyebanji described the attack as unfortunate and expressed solidarity with the Kwara State Government and residents. “We stand in solidarity with the people of Kwara State over this tragic incident.
“We also commend the Federal Government and security agencies for the swift response so far. The victims are stable but remain under close watch at the intensive care unit,” he said.
The Ekiti governor added that the three states would continue to strengthen collaboration to tackle cross-border criminal activities threatening communities in the region.
Also on the visit was the member representing Irepodun/Isin/Oke-Ero/Ekiti Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Raheem Ajulo-Opin, who prayed for the quick recovery of the injured victims.
