In a statement issued on Tuesday, Obi mourned the victims of a deadly bandit attack in Oke-Ode, Ifelodun Local Government Area, which claimed the lives of several residents and vigilante members over the weekend.

Describing the assault as a senseless act of violence, Obi stressed the need for urgent and decisive measures from both government and security agencies to safeguard citizens.

He extended his condolences to Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, the people of Kwara State, and all those affected, praying for strength and comfort during this difficult period.

“With deep sorrow, I received the news of the tragic killings in Oke-Ode, Kwara State, where innocent lives, including vigilantes and the Baale of Ogbayo, were brutally cut short in yet another wave of violence by armed bandits.

“Once again, our nation mourns as innocent lives are wasted. These recurring tragedies highlight the need for an urgent declaration of emergency on national security. No Nigerian should be forced to live in constant fear. We cannot continue to normalise tragedy.

“My heart goes out to the Governor and people of Kwara State. To the grieving families, please accept my deepest condolences. May you find the strength to endure, and may the souls of the departed rest in perfect peace,” Obi posted on his handle.
