Senator Mustapha noted that Kwara is facing an unusual and existential security challenge, stressing that the task of restoring safety cannot be left to government alone. He called for collective responsibility, vigilance, and sustained cooperation to ensure that criminal elements are completely rooted out of the state.

He reaffirmed his support for all lawful measures aimed at securing Kwara and protecting its people, adding that a safer state remains a shared duty for all.
