Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State has assured residents that the state will not bow to fear or the intimidation of any deranged ideology, promising to pursue justice for the victims of the Woro terrorist attack.
Inaugurating a seven-member committee tasked with supporting survivors of the Woro attack, Abdulrazaq said, “Today, my heart remains heavy as we gather in the shadow of the horrible terrorist attack that struck Woro on February 3, where at least 75 precious lives—or more—were cruelly taken. While homes and families were shattered by the mindless terrorists who sought to impose their warped ideology on the rest of us.
“We will leave no stone unturned in pursuing justice for our people and strengthening security across our state. We are already coordinating with federal authorities and security agencies to ensure this evil never happens again.
“Kwara stands with you. Together, we will heal, rebuild, and emerge stronger. We shall not bow to fear or intimidation of any deranged ideology,” he added.The governor explained that the mandate of the committee is to engage directly with affected families, community leaders, and residents to identify their most pressing needs—whether rehabilitation, medical support, livelihood restoration, infrastructure rebuilding, or psychosocial care.
“The committee,” he said, “is expected to serve as the bridge between the people and government, ensuring that the interventions are community-driven, transparent, and effective.”
The Chairman of the committee and Kiwozi of Kugiji, Mr Ahmed Ibn-Muhammad, assured the governor that the committee would do everything humanly possible to reach the affected people and address their needs.
