The Kwara State Police Public Relations Officer, Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, says the police were overwhelmed at the time terrorists carried out the violent and fatal attack on Woro community.
Ejire-Adeyemi said this on Friday in an interview on ‘The Morning Brief’, a programme on Channels Television.
rResidents of Woro community where the attack took place alleged that they didn’t get any response from the police and other security agencies until after 10 hours.
DAILY POST recalls that terrorists stormed the community and killed over 100 persons.
But explaining the situation. The Police PRO said, “Well, as of that moment, I just believe that probably they were overwhelmed. We also have this collaboration with the local vigilantes in that community, and most importantly, the National Forest guards are also present in that community.
“We just say they were overwhelmed, and before they could get back because of the distance from the community to the Divisional Police Headquarters, which is located in Kayama, I don’t know how long that took, but it is quite a distance, but definitely they got reinforcement,” she said.
