More than 100 armed jihadists in army uniforms attacked the Muslim villages of Woro and Nuku in Kwara State, Nigeria. The attack happened on Tuesday evening as farmers were returning from the fields. At least 75 people were killed and 38 women and children were abducted, including members of the traditional leader Umar Bio Salihu's family. The attackers first targeted Salihu's home after sending him a letter asking to preach their extremist views. Salihu was not home, but two of his children were killed and their house was set on fire. Abdulla Umar Usman, a Woro resident, said, "They came en masse in the name of religion, and they decided to kill our people." The militants then massacred many villagers overnight. Amnesty International reported that many victims had their hands and feet tied, some were shot dead, and others had their throats slit. The jihadists wanted residents to reject the Nigerian government and follow their radical teachings, which Salihu said was "against what the Quran teaches." The Nigerian government blamed Boko Haram for the attack. Boko Haram is known for extremist attacks, especially in Nigeria's northeast, but its factions now operate in Kwara state. Amnesty said the militants had sent pamphlets to the villages for months, urging people to join them. Many villagers resisted their demands. Local MP Saidu Baba Ahmed said Salihu contacted security forces about a warning letter just before the attack. The military investigated briefly but left, and the jihadists then attacked. Amnesty condemned this as a "stunning security failure." The militants even prayed in the local mosque and forced people to listen to their preaching before attacking. The security forces arrived only the next day, finding much of Woro and Nuku destroyed. Homes and shops were burnt, and many bodies lay in the bushes. Villagers and soldiers worked to bury dozens of victims. Kwara Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq said President Bola Tinubu approved deploying an army battalion to respond. Locals believe the attackers came from forests near Kainji Lake National Park. The villages had vigilante groups to protect against bandits and militants, but jihadists targeted and killed about eight vigilantes during the attack. The attack left residents scared and devastated. Roads around the villages remain empty, with families mourning lost loved ones and fearing future violence.
