Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has called for an immediate reinforcement of security personnel in Ekiti Local Government Area, particularly the Eruku axis, following a fresh attack in the community.
The Governor, according to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, described the latest incident as unconscionable and urged security agencies to activate enhanced measures without delay.
Ajakaye said the Governor “sympathises and identifies with the people of Eruku and environs, especially the families and the CAC congregation directly affected by Tuesday’s assault,” adding that the state would continue to back security operatives to ensure safety across Kwara.
Governor AbdulRazaq also commended President Bola Tinubu for deploying 900 additional troops to the state, noting that the move had already contributed to restoring calm in previously troubled areas.
“We sincerely thank the President for this. We are confident that the additional troops will provide further deterrence, overall safety for our people, and permanent calm,” the statement said.
The government assured residents that it remains committed to strengthening security infrastructure and supporting ongoing efforts to prevent further attacks.
