Tragic Bandit Attack in Woro and Nuku Communities: A Call for Support

The recent bandit attack on the Woro and Nuku communities in Kaiama Local Government Area, Kwara State, has left our hearts heavy and our communities in mourning. Initial reports indicate that the death toll may exceed official estimates, with local officials and residents suggesting that at least 40 lives have been lost, and that number could rise as more bodies are recovered.

On Tuesday evening, armed bandits crossed over from neighboring Niger State and launched a coordinated assault on these vulnerable communities. Eyewitnesses described scenes of chaos, with numerous homes set ablaze and families torn apart. The aftermath of this tragedy is overwhelming, with many families left to grieve their loved ones.

In the days leading up to the attack, these bandits had been seen in the area promoting a shift from Nigeria’s constitution to Islamic law. When community members voiced their dissent, the situation escalated tragically, resulting in indiscriminate gunfire that claimed innocent lives.

Despite the government’s acknowledgment of the violence, local sources believe the true scale of the tragedy is underreported. As preparations for mass burials begin, it is essential that we come together to support those affected by this horrific event.

At the Dorothy Iselin Humanitarian Foundation, we are committed to providing aid and assistance to the victims and their families during this difficult time. We urge everyone to contribute in any way you can—whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading awareness. Together, we can help rebuild lives and restore hope in the Woro and Nuku communities.

Let us stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Kwara State. Your support can make a difference.
