In a tragic attack that occurred on February 3, 2026, in the Woro community located in Kwara State, 30 indigenous individuals from Plateau State were killed, with the overall death toll surpassing 160. This incident has drawn significant attention due to its severe implications for the local populace, as the deputy chairman of Riyom Local Government Area, Gwong Gwya Song, highlighted the emotional toll and devastation experienced by the affected families. Efforts are being made to assist those displaced, with initial reports indicating that over 707 individuals have been displaced from their homes as a result of the violence.

Deputy chairman Song shared further insights into the aftermath of the attack, noting that while some residents have begun to return home, many are still unaccounted for or struggling to find safety. The local government is taking steps to provide support, as evidenced by the allocation of 3 million Naira to aid in the transportation of displaced individuals back to their communities. Despite these efforts, the lingering fear and uncertainty following such a tumultuous event have left many in distress, emphasizing the need for ongoing assistance.

The attack not only highlights the immediate humanitarian crisis but also underscores the broader issues of insecurity and violence affecting various regions within Nigeria. The loss of life and disruption to communities serve as a poignant reminder of the challenges facing local and national authorities in addressing safety concerns, and the calls for more effective measures to deter such attacks in the future are likely to grow louder.
