Ex-Senate President, Bukola Saraki breaks silence over Kwara church attack 

Yesterday, I received the sad news of the terrorist attack on Eruku town in my home State, Kwara. In the terrible incident, some residents were injured while some others were kidnapped. It is a seriously disturbing news which has disrupted the usually serene and peaceful atmosphere of the town located in the southern part of our dear state.

I sympathise with all the victims and their relatives. I pray for Allah’s healing, restoration and strength at this difficult time.

I call on the Federal government, particularly the heads of our security agencies to urgently act to ensure that the kidnapped victims of this sad incident regain their freedom and return home safely to their loved ones. I also enjoin the security agencies to put a solid arrangement in place that will secure Eruku town, in particular, and all parts of Kwara State.

The state is one of the gateways into the country and a link between the southern and northern parts. This makes it deserving of a special security arrangement that will not jeopardise our national interest and internal peace.

May Allah (SWT) heal our land and help us defeat all those waging wars against Nigeria.
