Kwara Attack: 162 People Don Die, Madness Don Involve Jihadists

Omo, see wahala wey happen for Kwara State! Di place don bust as suspected jihadist fighters pack enter two villages for Kaiama Local Government, catch everybody off guard. Dem just dey shoot people anyhow, burn house and even set traditional ruler palace on fire! Na serious matter be dis oh, more than 162 people don waka come meet their ancestors.

As e be, di initial report talk say na just 35 people die, but plenty rights groups dey talk say di figure dey far higher. Red Cross don collect 162 bodies as at Wednesday, and dem dey still search for more. Amnesty International sef don talk say over 170 people don die, some even say dem burn alive. Na wah!

Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq no fit hide di shock, him say dis one na massacre wey dem carry out like say na game. He actually confirm say dem don deploy army battalion join di scene. But who really carry di blame for this madness? Di President Tinubu talk say na Boko Haram, but local lawmakers dey point finger at Lakurawa, wey dey linked to Islamic State. Kwara police first bin call dem “suspected bandits.” Na so wahala just dey grow everywhere!

As di matter dey shine light, residents dey talk say di killings no be just small play, e don follow dem for smaller attacks wey don happen before for di same area. Saidu Baba Ahmed, wey dey represent di area, talk say as di shooting start, people dey run enter bush with gunshot wounds. Na serious chaos!

And as Naija dey shake from all dis wahala, Amnesty International don talk say twenty-one people die for Doma village for Katsina, while seventeen suffer di same fate for Borno, wey be di hotbed of insurgency. What’s going on for this side of di country? Bandits and jihadists don dey expand their territory, wey dey make people dey fear.

Meanwhile, di U.S. don come waka enter Nigeria for military support. Defense Minister Christopher Musa don confirm say some U.S. troops dey help for intelligence and training since last year. But e no change di fact say dier presence no really fit stop all di madness wey dey happen.

For di residents of Nuku and Woro, di response come too late. ‘Nothing dey happen for security matter,’ na wetin Amnesty International talk. Dem just dey leave people dey unprotected, like say dem no dey amount to anything. Na so e be, we go dey watch as di story dey unfold. Naija, wetin we go do na?”
