The Kwara State Police Public Relations Officer, Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, says the police were overwhelmed at the time terrorists carried out the violent and fatal attack on Woro community.
Ejire-Adeyemi said this on Friday in an interview on ‘The
Morning Brief’, a programme on Channels Television.
rResidents of Woro community where the attack took place
alleged that they didn’t get any response from the police and other security
agencies until after 10 hours.
Recall that terrorists stormed the community and killed over
100 persons.
But explaining the situation. The Police PRO said, “Well, as
of that moment, I just believe that probably they were overwhelmed. We also
have this collaboration with the local vigilantes in that community, and most
importantly, the National Forest guards are also present in that community.
“We just say they were overwhelmed, and before they could
get back because of the distance from the community to the Divisional Police
Headquarters, which is located in Kayama, I don’t know how long that took, but
it is quite a distance, but definitely they got reinforcement,” she said.
