Kwara killings: Governor rolls out recovery support for victims

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has launched a committee to aid survivors and families impacted by a recent terrorist attack in the Woro community, focusing on rehabilitation and justice.

In response to the recent terrorist attack on the Woro community in Kaiama Local Government Area, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State has established a seven-member intervention committee. This committee will be tasked with coordinating support for survivors and the families of victims, ensuring a direct engagement with community leaders and residents. Their primary goal is to assess immediate needs such as medical care, livelihood restoration, infrastructure rebuilding, and psychosocial support for those affected by the tragedy.

The committee, led by Ahmed Ibn Muhammad, the Kiwozi of Kugiji, has a broad mandate to not only identify urgent needs but also to facilitate the delivery of necessary assistance to those who have suffered from the devastating impacts of the attack, which occurred on February 3, 2026, and resulted in the loss of at least 75 lives. The governor's initiative highlights the importance of community-led recovery efforts, aiming to alleviate the significant hardships faced by those directly impacted by the violence.

In addition to recovery efforts, Governor AbdulRazaq emphasized the need for ensuring justice for the victims and enhancing security measures across the state. This dual approach reflects the government’s commitment to addressing both the immediate aftermath of the attack and the underlying security issues that contribute to such violence. The coordinated support not only seeks to assist in physical and emotional recovery but also strives to restore a sense of safety and stability in the affected communities.
