Tinubu meets AbdulRazaq at State House over Kwara terrorist attack

President Bola Tinubu met with Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq, governor of Kwara, on Thursday at the State House, Abuja, over terrorist attack in the state.

On Wednesday, at least 75 residents were killed, with several houses set ablaze, when terrorists attacked the Nuku and Woro communities in the Kaiama LGA of Kwara state.

Rauf Ajakaye, chief press secretary to the Kwara governor, told TheCable that the victims, who were moderate Muslims, were killed for “refusing to surrender to extremists who preached a strange doctrine”.

Tinubu subsequently ordered the deployment of an army battalion to the LGA.

The President said the new military command will spearhead “Operation Savannah Shield” to “checkmate the barbaric terrorists and protect defenceless communities”.
