Kwara North Security Crisis Escalates

Prominent elders and stakeholders from Kwara North Senatorial District, under the aegis of the Nigeria — Kwara North Development Commission>>>, have raised an alarm over the 'near-total collapse' of security in the region. They allege that over 1,200 people have been killed and hundreds abducted by bandits and terrorists since President Bola Tinubu>>> assumed office in 2023. The crisis has devastated communities across five local government areas, crippling agricultural activities, displacing residents, and grounding the local economy. The Nigeria — Kwara North Development Commission>>> has accused President Bola Tinubu>>>'s administration of failing to address the escalating insecurity, despite acknowledging efforts by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq>>>'s state government. The group warns that the ruling Nigeria — All Progressives Congress>>> risks losing political support in the region ahead of the 2027 general elections if urgent federal intervention is not provided. They have appealed directly to President Bola Tinubu>>> to deploy necessary security resources to protect communities and revive economic activities critical to food security in Nigeria — Kwara State>>> and Nigeria>>>.
