More than 50 survivors of the brutal attacks on the Woro and Nuku communities in Kaiama Local Government Area are currently receiving intensive medical care across various hospitals in Kwara State.
The victims, many of whom sustained life-threatening gunshot wounds and severe burns, are being monitored as the state grapples with the aftermath of what has been described as one of the deadliest assaults in recent months.
This was revealed after the Senator representing Kwara North Senatorial District of Kwara State at the Senate, Sadiq Umar, visited some of the injured survivors, where he sympathised with them and described the incident as heartbreaking.
He prayed for their speedy recovery and reassured the victims of his continued support throughout their period of treatment and recovery.
Senator Umar commended President Bola Tinubu for the immediate deployment of security personnel under Operation Savannah Shield to restore peace and track down those responsible for the attack.
He also praised Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, for what he described as a swift response, particularly the directive to the State Emergency Management Agency to provide relief materials to affected persons.
The lawmaker called for sustained security operations across Kwara North, noting that the senatorial district has continued to face security challenges.
He urged residents to remain united, hopeful, and prayerful, while reaffirming his commitment to the well-being of his constituents and praying for lasting peace in the region.
