Vice President Kashim Shettima has travelled to Kwara State to assess the aftermath of a deadly attack on communities in the Kaiama Local Government Area, officials said on Saturday.
The visit to Woro village follows a violent assault earlier this week that left scores of residents dead. Police in Kwara have confirmed that at least 75 people were killed in the attack, while some humanitarian and local accounts place the toll significantly higher.
Shettima’s trip, undertaken at the directive of President Bola Tinubu, is part of federal efforts to offer support to affected families and coordinate the government’s response to rising insecurity in the region.
Upon arrival, the vice president was received by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and other state officials. Authorities have condemned the assault and pledged to bring those responsible to justice as security forces continue investigations and reinforce protection in the area.
