More than 50 survivors of the recent attack on the Woro community in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State are receiving treatment in hospitals for injuries sustained during the assault.
The victims suffered varying degrees of injuries, including gunshot wounds, following the deadly attack, which also affected the neighbouring Nuku community.
The Senator representing Kwara North Senatorial District, Sadiq Umar, visited some of the injured survivors, where he sympathised with them and described the incident as heartbreaking.
He prayed for their speedy recovery and reassured the victims of his continued support throughout their period of treatment and recovery.
Senator Umar commended President Bola Tinubu for the deployment of security personnel under Operation Savannah Shield, aimed at restoring peace and tracking down those responsible for the attack.
He also praised Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, for what he described as a swift response, particularly the directive to the State Emergency Management Agency to provide relief materials to affected persons.
The lawmaker called for sustained security operations across Kwara North, noting that the senatorial district has continued to face security challenges.
