In the villages of Nuku and Woro located in Kwara State, terrorists killed almost 200 individuals, torching homes and the palace of the local king in the process. Governor AbdulRazaq of Kwara State reported that 75 Muslims were executed for not surrendering, which prompted President Tinubu to send an army battalion to the affected region.
