Tinubu Sends Full Military Battalion to Kwara After Terrorists Massacre 75 for Refusing to Pay ‘Taxes’

Tinubu Sends Full Military Battalion to Kwara After Terrorists Massacre 75 for Refusing to Pay ‘Taxes’

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially “drawn a line in the sand” in Kwara State. Following the horrific execution of dozens of villagers in the Kaiama Local Government Area, the President has ordered the immediate deployment of a military battalion to flush out the killers and permanently secure the state’s western borders.

The presidential order comes as a direct response to Tuesday’s “punitive raid” on the Woro and Nuku communities. In a chilling revelation, survivors and local lawmakers confirmed that the villagers were massacred specifically because they had ignored five months of “warning letters” from the Lakurawa extremist group. The terrorists had demanded food, money, and total submission to their rule demands the community bravely rejected.

“The President has made it clear that no part of Nigeria will be ceded to terrorists under any guise,” a spokesperson for the Presidency stated on Wednesday. “This deployment is not just a patrol; it is a mission to dismantle and destroy.”

The scale of the tragedy continues to grow. While the government initially confirmed 75 deaths, local representatives and rescue workers on the ground now report that the toll has surged past 160. Rescuers found a scene of absolute carnage, with many victims having been bound and executed in cold blood before the attackers retreated into the vast forest reserves that lead into Niger State.

The incoming battalion is expected to set up a permanent “forward operating base” to block the influx of foreign fighters from the Sahel corridor. For the people of Kaiama, who have spent months living in fear of the next “letter” from the forest, the arrival of heavy military hardware is a long-overdue sign that they haven’t been forgotten.

With U.S. military advisors also reportedly providing intelligence support, the message from Abuja is loud and clear: the era of the Lakurawa’s “shadow government” in Kwara is over.
