Kwara Activist Slams Government Over Alleged Neglect of Kwara North

Comrade Musa Saidu Tsaragi criticises the Kwara State government for perceived neglect and bias towards Kwara North after a tragic event claimed nearly 100 lives. He demands justice and accountability and accuses the Governor of partiality.

Comrade Tsaragi's statement criticises the Kwara State government, led by Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, for allegedly neglecting the Kwara North region. The criticism stems from the government's response to a tragic event involving bandits and kidnappers in Edu and Patigi Local Government Areas, which resulted in nearly 100 deaths.

Tsaragi accuses the governor of favouring the Yoruba population in Kwara South, as evidenced by a prompt visit to Ifelodun Local Government Area after a similar incident, while neglecting Kwara North, and failing to address the tragedy in Kwara North adequately, including not holding a press conference or condolence visit.

Tsaragi demands justice for the victims and calls for accountability from the government. He vows to continue advocating for good governance and speaking out against injustice.

Social Media Commentator Urges Kwara Govt to Provide Therapy and Compensation for Kidnapped Children.

Following the recent release of two children abducted in Lafiagi, a social media commentator identified as Sanchitagi Ndakitabu Qasim has issued a direct appeal to the Kwara State Government, calling for immediate psychological support and financial compensation for the affected families.

In a post on his Facebook social media handle, Qasim expressed relief at the children's safe return but stressed that the government's responsibility does not end with their release. He urged authorities to address the trauma and financial hardship endured by the victims and their families.

"We are excited that our children have been released from captivity," Qasim wrote. He continued with a clear call to action: "Kwara State Government must commence their therapy immediately and compensate the families for the ransom paid. The government must also ensure that no child from any of our communities is subjected to this treatment again."

The post, which was hashtagged , highlights the deep-seated emotional and economic impact of the rampant kidnappings on communities across the state. Qasim's comments resonate with a public that has witnessed a series of violent incidents, including the abduction of a prominent agrochemical dealer and a POS operator, whose family was forced to auction properties to meet a ransom demand.

It is with great excitement and a deep sense of purpose that I officially unveil the "Governance by All" initiative, an impactful programme conceptualized and designed by yours truly, with generous support from the Nigeria Youth Futures Fund (NYFF). This initiative is a direct response to the longstanding exclusion of young people and grassroots organizations in rural areas, particularly in Edu Local Government Area of Kwara North, from governance-related capacity-building opportunities.

Despite boasting an active youth demographic and several dynamic community-based associations, the region suffers from a critical lack of structured systems for budget transparency, civic accountability, and resource management. These gaps have historically undermined the ability of youth leaders and local unions to participate effectively in governance or advocate for community development.

"Governance by All" is designed to change that narrative. Over a period of five months, the initiative will deliver a mix of virtual and physical training sessions to 30 youth and union leaders, equipping them with practical skills in participatory governance, budget literacy, resource tracking, and community advocacy. Special consideration will be given to women and persons with disabilities (PWDs) during the selection process, ensuring inclusivity and equity from the outset.

Furthermore, I am proud to be collaborating with reputable partner organizations who will lend their technical expertise and grassroots experience to help maximize impact. By the end of the programme, participants will not only be more informed citizens but also catalysts for inclusive, transparent, and sustainable governance in their communities. Kindly apply via https://forms.gle/UdMmoq5dEfXdxb2P8

This is more than just a training, it is a movement to democratize governance and empower rural voices.

Prominent Businessman's Two Wives Kidnapped in Edogi Dukun Attack.

The ongoing security crisis in Kwara North took another alarming turn last night when armed bandits attacked the home of a prominent businessman, Alhaji Danjuma, and kidnapped his two wives. The raid, which occurred around 1:30 AM, has once again plunged a community in the Edu local government into fear.

According to neighbors who witnessed the harrowing event, the kidnappers, armed with "sophisticated rifles," scaled the fence of Alhaji Danjuma's residence to gain entry. The details of the attack, received this morning, highlight the brazenness of the criminals who are operating with little to no resistance.

Kwara Community Deserted Due to Insecurity, Group Accuses Police of Lying

A civic coalition, Kwara Alternative, has accused the Kwara State Police Command of misleading the public about the security situation in Ganmu and other rural communities.

According to an article published by The Informant247, the group claims the police prioritise image management over public safety. The viral video shows abandoned homes in Ganmu, prompting concerns over mass displacement due to insecurity.

The police dismissed the video as "misleading" and capable of inciting unnecessary panic, The group insists the video reflects the reality on the ground, citing increased violence and abductions in the area. Suspected bandits ambushed travellers near Ganmu, killing two and abducting three others on July 31.

The group demands urgent intervention from state and federal authorities to address the security challenges and restore public trust.

AFA Football Academy schedules three friendly matches in Ilorin

AFA Football Academy, based in Lafiagi, in Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State has scheduled a tour of Ilorin, where they are expected to play three friendly matches between August 15th to August 17th, 2025.

The Academy, owned by US-based entrepreneur and ex-player, Ambassador Aliyu Issa Edu, are expected to play against Kwara United Football Club, Abubakar Bukola Sàràkí Football Club and Kwara Football Academy.

AFA Football Academy was launched at the Lafiagi Township Stadium in February this year, to open up a footballing empowerment initiative for the youths.

It’s a new sports talent nurturing outfit with a dedication to cultivating local football talent and nurturing young individuals in their pursuit of professional aspirations, especially from the state.

The team is expected to arrive Ilorin on Friday August 15, and depart on Monday August 18, after the friendly matches.

The Academy, since it's inauguration, have played several trial matches and competitions in Kaduna, Abuja and Lagos, as a way of exposing the players, and creating opportunities for them.

Aeidu said that the vision behind the initiative was to create a career pathway for the talented youths, especially in Lafiagi and it's environs, to give back to the society and to check social vices.

"We want to grow local football so that we can be able to minimise crime through the engagement and empowerment of youths through football. It’s also a way of community development”, he averred.

“I had a lot of dreams growing up as a footballer, but I couldn’t make it. I had the opportunity to go abroad, where most things are not done by the government, but by private individuals.

“I want to bring back here what I have learnt, so that we can help our young talented players to grow, as charged the youths to take advantage of the opportunity.

Kwara North Leader Questions State's Commitment Amid Security Crisis.

A resident of Kwara North, Sanchitagi Ndakitabu Qasim, has issued a sharp critique of the state government's response to the security challenges facing the region, despite commending local government efforts. In a recent statement, Qasim praised the Executive Chairman of Edu Local Government for the "commendable leadership" shown in closing the Gbugbu market and introducing a ₦50,000 monthly stipend for families who lost loved ones in the fight against banditry.

Qasim, however, followed this praise with a series of pointed questions directed at the Kwara State government, suggesting a disconnect between promises and actions. His primary concern centers on the perceived contradiction between closing a vital economic hub for security reasons while allowing other profitable activities to continue.

"Why is Gbugbu market still closed, yet mining activities, whether legal or illegal, continue uninterrupted in the same region?" Qasim asked. "Are lives only protected when markets are involved, and not when profits are made underground?"

He also raised critical questions about the state's financial support for victims of the ongoing insecurity. "How much is the Kwara State Government contributing to victims of this ongoing insecurity? Has there been any formal compensation or relief package?"

The author also questioned the state's tax collection practices in the distressed region. "Is the Kwara State Internal Revenue Service (KWIRS) still collecting taxes from our already distressed people? If yes, is this not an added burden on communities already struggling with displacement and loss?"

Qasim highlighted the plight of kidnap victims and their families, asking who would take responsibility for the ransoms paid to free them. "Who takes responsibility for the millions paid as ransom to rescue abducted citizens? Is there any plan for reimbursement, or are the victims left to bear this trauma alone?"

Additionally, he sought clarification on the fate of displaced people and farmers whose livelihoods have been disrupted by the violence. "What support is being offered to farmers who can no longer access their lands? And finally, what is the fate of displaced villagers, where are they now, and how are they surviving?"

In a direct appeal for accountability, Qasim stated that these are not "rhetorical questions" and that they "demand honest answers." He concluded with a strong message to the state government, asserting that if Kwara North is to be considered a true part of the state, then its "security, welfare, and economic justice must not be treated as optional."
