162 People Feared Kîlled in Kwara State: One of the De@dliest Ter+rist Att@cks in Nigeria So Far –

Another day. Another massacre. Another silence.

At least 162 Nigerians are feared dead following a horrifying ter+rist invasion in parts of Kwara State, a tragedy so brutal that it now ranks among the deadliest att@cks Nigeria has recorded in recent times. Entire communities were reportedly wiped out in cold blood, homes burnt to ashes, and helpless residents slaughtered while the rest of the country slept.Let that number sink in — 162 lives.

This was not a random skirmish. This was a well-coordinated, large-scale assault that lasted long enough to raise one disturbing question Nigerians keep asking after every bloodbath:Where was security?

For hours, attackers allegedly moved freely, setting houses ablaze and killing at will. No immediate response. No deterrence. Just fear, fire, and death. Survivors describe scenes too graphic to ignore — children trapped, families butchered, and villages reduced to ghost towns overnight.What makes this attack even more alarming is the location. Kwara State has never been loudly classified as a frontline terror zone. Yet, here we are. Another proof that insecurity has spread beyond excuses, beyond denial, beyond control.

This tragedy exposes a painful truth Nigerians are tired of whispering: Terrorists are evolving faster than the system meant to stop them. After the smoke clears, what comes next? A press statement? A visit?A promise? We’ve seen this script before.

The real outrage is not just the number of lives lost, but how normal this has become. Mass deaths no longer shock. Communities burning barely trend. And accountability remains permanently missing.This is not just a Kwara tragedy, this is a national failure. Nigeria cannot continue like this — counting bodies, issuing condolences, and moving on as if human lives are expendable. Every delayed action, every ignored warning, every weak response only emboldens the next attack.

As families mourn and survivors search through ashes for loved ones, one thing is clear: Nigeria is bleeding — and the wounds are being left open. May the souls of the departed rest in peace. But peace will remain a prayer until justice and real security become a reality.
