Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has strongly condemned the terrorist attacks on Woro and Nuku communities in Kiama Local Government Area of Kwara State, which reportedly claimed at least 200 lives.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Obi described the killings as more severe than what is witnessed in some countries at war, calling on President Bola Tinubu to urgently declare an all-out war on insecurity threatening lives and property across Nigeria.
He lamented the persistent violence, noting that the scale and frequency of the attacks highlight a grave national failure and the urgent need for decisive action to end the bloodshed.
“Every loss of innocent life is tragic, and these killings represent a major failure for us as a nation,” Obi said, while extending his condolences to the families of the victims, the affected communities, and the government and people of Kwara State.
The ADC chieftain urged relevant authorities to act swiftly to restore peace, apprehend and prosecute those responsible, and reassure Nigerians that their lives are valued and will be protected.
Meanwhile, President Tinubu on Wednesday night ordered the deployment of soldiers to the affected communities in response to the attacks.
