IED Blast in Kwara’s Woro Community Leaves Many Dead
Early Monday, a vehicle in Woro community, Kaiama LGA, Kwara State, ran over an improvised explosive device. Residents fear several fatalities in what they suspect is a Boko Haram attack. A community source told SaharaReporters the blast threw the traumatised town into panic. This incident follows a deadly invasion in February 2026, when armed men killed dozens and abducted over 170 people. Those victims remain in captivity amid stalled ransom talks with the state government. Families worry for their loved ones’ survival in the bush. Authorities have yet to confirm casualty figures. Efforts to reach the police spokesperson were unsuccessful. The latest attack raises fresh concerns about escalating insecurity in Kwara North.
