Governor Zulum Commiserates with Kwara Over Bandit Attacks, Prays Tragedy Will Not Recur
Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, on Saturday, commiserated with the communities in Kwara State attacked by bandits, expressing hope that the tragedy would not recur.
"As Muslims, we believe in destiny, and it is our sincere hope that, by God's grace, this act will not happen again," said Mr Zulum, who serves as the Chairman of the North-East Governors' Forum.
The Governor was part of the government delegation to Kwara led by Vice President Kashim Shettima, following the killing of nearly 200 residents of Nuku and Woro villages in the Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State.
"Our prayers are with you, and it is our sincere prayer that Almighty Allah will forgive those who have lost their lives and grant them Aljannah Firdaus," Mr Zulum added.
On Tuesday, 3 February, terrorists killed about 200 people in coordinated attacks on the Kwara communities. Some of the corpses have been recovered and buried, while others remain missing.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar stated on Thursday that several massacres carried out in Kwara, Benue, and Katsina in recent days demonstrate that Nigeria is descending into a killing field under President Bola Tinubu's watch.
Amnesty International, in a statement issued on Wednesday, said: "Amnesty International strongly condemns the attacks on rural communities in Kwara and Katsina States on Tuesday, 3 February 2026, in which gunmen killed over 200 people. Many of those killed were shot at close range, and some were burnt alive."
