Suspected JAS terrorists killed at least 162 residents in Kwara State communities as a violent reprisal after village leaders rejected their request to conduct religious preaching.
Terrorists launched a deadly assault on Kwara State’s Woro and Nuku communities Tuesday night, reportedly killing 162 people. Sources reveal the massacre followed the village head’s refusal to allow the group to preach. A resident noted, “The same notification [to preach] was sent to Woro Community, but their village head disallowed them from entering.”
The attackers, suspected to be JAS terrorists, burned homes and targeted security offices before fleeing into the Borgu National Park forest. Witnesses confirm the raid was a reprisal for the rejected entry, as the group had warned “they are coming in at anytime, but this time around it’s not going to be funny.”
