Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has totally condemned what he described as "unconscionable attack" carried out by bandits, who stormed the Christ Apostolic Church, Oke Isegun, killed two worshippers, and abducted some others during the incident, urging that more and urgent security deployment be made to Ekiti Local Government Area, especially Eruku axis, to immediately curtail the new wave of attacks in the area. 

Governor AbdulRazaq made the call in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Rafiu Ajakaye, saying that the immediate deployment of more security operatives was needed to support the existing security architecture in the area. 

The governor, while condemning the attack, sympathised and identified with the people of Eruku and environs, especially families and the CAC directly impacted by the condemnable attack of Tuesday, assuring that the state government would continue to support the security agencies to tackle these challenges and ensure safety of lives and properties across the state. 

"The Governor has sought immediate deployment of more security operatives to support the existing security architecture in the area. 

"He requested that this new measure be activated immediately. The Governor wholly condemns the unconscionable attack, sympathises and identifies with the people of Eruku and environs, especially families and the CAC directly impacted by the condemnable attack of Tuesday. 

"The state government will continue to support the security agencies to tackle these challenges and ensure safety of lives and properties across the state," the statement stated. 

Governor AbdulRazaq, however, commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the deployment of 900 additional troops in Kwara, saying that this was expected to strengthen security in the state, even as he noted that appreciable calm had been witnessed in many areas previously affected. 

"We have indeed seen appreciable calm in many areas previously affected. 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,” he said.
