Obi wrote:
“I am profoundly saddened by the recent attacks in Kwara State, where gunmen reportedly killed around 150 people in villages including Woro and Nuku. Every loss of innocent life is tragic, and these killings reflect a major failure on our part as a nation. My deepest sympathies go to the families of the victims, the affected communities, and the people and government of Kwara State.
These recurring acts of violence across the country — now surpassing the levels seen in some nations at war — highlight the urgent need for us to confront insecurity head-on and deploy all possible measures to end this scourge.
I therefore call on the relevant authorities to act swiftly to restore peace, bring the perpetrators to justice, and reassure the people of Kwara State, and all Nigerians, that their lives are valued and must be protected.”
