The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered the immediate deployment of tactical, operational, and intelligence assets to Kaiama and surrounding communities to restore calm, strengthen security presence, and prevent further attacks on Kwara State communities.
An intensive manhunt has been launched for the perpetrators and all individuals connected to the heinous crime. Investigations are ongoing, with all available resources mobilized to ensure those responsible are identified, apprehended, and brought to justice.
The police urged the public to remain calm and support security efforts by providing timely and credible information through the nearest police station or established communication channels.
“The perpetrators will not escape the long arm of the law,” Force PRO Benjamin Hundeyin said, reiterating the Force’s commitment to maintaining peace, law, and order across the country.
Egbetukun extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims, as well as to the government and people of Kwara State over the recent bandit attacks.
“The Nigeria Police Force remains steadfast in its responsibility to protect lives and property, and will continue to do everything necessary to guarantee the safety and security of all citizens,” Hundeyin said on Thursday.
