By Mosunmola Ayobami, Ilorin
Media entrepreneur and founder of Flow FM, one of Kwara’s prominent radio stations, Engr. Femi Sanni (Araba) has expressed profound grief over the brutal killings in Woro and Nuku communities of Kaiama Local Government Area of the state.
In a statement made public on Friday, he described the attack as a painful assault on the peace-loving people of Kwara North and their long-standing tradition of religious tolerance and communal harmony.
Sanni explained that the massacre struck at the heart of Kaiama, a land known for dignity of labour and a firm rejection of extremism in all its forms. He noted that the people of Kaiama and neighbouring communities have practised Islam as a religion of peace for generations, stressing that the perpetrators do not represent the faith or culture of the area.
According to him, the attack was particularly tragic because it targeted innocent villagers who refused indoctrination and upheld the moderate, non-violent values that have defined Kwara North for decades.
He commended Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for his swift response and engagement with security authorities, describing the Governor’s actions as reassuring to grieving families.
“Our people needed reassurance, and the governor did not hesitate. His prompt intervention and coordination with federal authorities helped restore confidence that Kwara North will not be abandoned to terror. Justice will be served, peace will return, and our communities will rise stronger,” he said.
The media entrepreneur also praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for condemning the killings and approving the immediate deployment of an army battalion to Kaiama under Operation Savannah Shield, welcoming the president’s clear description of the attackers as terrorists and extremists.
Sanni prayed for the repose of the souls of the departed, strength for the bereaved families and healing for survivors, while urging residents of Kwara North to remain united, vigilant and supportive of security efforts.
