Insecurity: Emir of Yashikira Decries Massive Attack on Kwara North Communities

President Tinubu launched Operation Savannah Shield and deployed troops after terrorists killed about 40 villagers and burned homes in Kwara State's Kaiama communities.

  • On Wednesday night, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ordered an army battalion to Kaiama Local Government Area following a deadly attack on villagers.
  • After residents rejected the group's preachings, armed bandits attacked Woro and Nuku on Tuesday evening, killing scores and burning several houses.
  • Unconfirmed reports say the death toll reached 40, and soldiers and forest guards have secured the areas while attackers reportedly came from neighbouring Niger State villages.
  • Tinubu condoled with the people and government of Kwara State, prayed for the deceased, and condemned the attack as `cowardly and beastly`.
  • A new military command will spearhead Operation Savannah Shield to checkmate the terrorists, according to President Tinubu's statement on Wednesday night.
