*Kwara State Terrorist Attack*
On February 4, 2026, gunmen attacked Woro village in Kwara State, Nigeria, killing at least 162 people and injuring many more. The attackers, believed to be jihadists, targeted the village because residents refused to adopt Sharia law. They burned shops, homes, and the traditional king's palace, and abducted several people.
The attack was one of the deadliest in Nigeria in recent months, highlighting the country's ongoing security challenges. The Nigerian military has deployed troops to the area to stem further attacks ¹ ² ³.
The African Union has condemned the attack, calling it "heinous and barbaric". The Nigerian government has vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice ⁴.
