Kwara State Government on Saturday reacted to a viral video clip released by armed bandits on the tragic February 3,2026, bloody attack on Woro community in Kaiama Local Government of the state.

According to a statement by the Commissioner for Communications, Bolanle Olukoju, “the government is deeply concerned over the disturbing video released by terrorists earlier today, allegedly showing some persons taken during the tragic February 3 attack on Woro community.

“As always, our thoughts are with all the families affected, and we reaffirm our commitment to securing the safe return of all those impacted.


“We acknowledge the anxiety that this footage may cause. Government officials and security agencies are carefully analysing the video to establish the identities of the individuals shown,” the statement added.

DAILY POST reports that since the incident, there have been varying accounts regarding the number of persons abducted and killed during the bloody invasion of the community.


“For this reason, neither the state government nor security agencies have announced a definitive figure. Our priority remains the safe rescue of every affected citizen and ensuring that those responsible are brought to justice.

“We have engaged Woro community leaders to assist in identifying individuals seen in the footage. As of now, a few persons have been preliminarily identified from the video as residents of Woro.

"Community representatives have also indicated that more individuals remain unaccounted for. It is important to note that some persons initially reported missing have since reunited with their families, while others may have temporarily relocated to neighbouring communities, including Wawa and New Bussa in Niger State.”


The Government’s response committee, led by His Highness Ahmed Ibn Muhammed, continues to work with security agencies, local authorities, and community stakeholders to coordinate efforts, humanitarian support, and the safe return of displaced persons.

The government assured the public that verified updates will be provided as more information becomes available through proper coordination with security and community leaders.

It urged residents to remain calm, avoid spreading unverified information, and continue cooperating with authorities.

While Nigerians are being abducted and paraded by terrorists, the Commander-in-Chief is busy enjoying a fishing festival. Apparently, governance can wait, but photo-ops and optics cannot.

The insecurity under the Tinubu administration is staggering. At this rate, even war-torn nations might start sending us condolences.

If resignation was good advice for Jonathan back then, it should be good advice for Tinubu now.

I’ve been without NEPA electricity in my home for almost a week. It makes me wonder how Nigerians endure such hardship under a particular administration, yet still go out to campaign and vote the same government back into power for a second term.

How can 100 Nigerians be kidnapped without swift action from the military or police or even a simple statement from the president addressing the issue? This isn’t the first time it’s happening. We need to wake up, set aside ethnicity and religion, and vote in the right leaders. And if they fail us, we must not hesitate to vote them out. We are suffering in this country, and only those who have lived abroad truly understand how much better things could be.

Ameboperoo:
The problem is who do we now vote in? As it is I've not seen anyone capable of bringing the change we need in nigera

Meanwhile the C-in-C that was part of those who insulted and asked Jonathan to resign over the Chibok girls kidnap of 2014 is in Argungun fishing festival in Sokoto state. What a country with irresponsible leadership.

Why are you hiding behind Jonathan?

Tell us how your preferred leader Obi and Atiku would have handled it better?

Give specific examples what they did while they were in government
Let me remind you+ Corpses of youth floating on the river in Anambra

The flattening and destruction of a whole town by the military (not terrorist o)

Obi was also part of Jonathan government when Chibok girls abduction happened.
