Kwara South Security Joint Watch has frowned at the lukewarm attitude of leaders of the senatorial district to the issue of insecurity in the area.
DAILY POST reports that the security watch issued a threat alert on Saturday, hours before an attack on the ECWA church at Omugo via Oro-Ago community in Ifelodun LGA on Sunday morning.
Eight worshippers were abducted by the armed bandits including the wife of the head of the church, but three victims were later rescued.
A statement by the Coordinator of the Joint Security Watch, Elder Olaitan Zubairu, on Monday expressed outrage and frustration that despite early warnings leaders failed to act.
“It is time for proactive leadership,” Zubairu said.
“We extend our heartfelt condolences to the victims and families affected by the recent bandits attack on the ECWA Church in Omugo, Oro-Ago community.
“Politicians have sent empathy messages, but we demand action. We need technology, vigilance, and collective action to secure our communities. Join forces with security agencies, support community initiatives, and push for real solutions.
“Enough is enough. Show us action, not just statements. Let’s work together to protect Kwara South,” the statement added.
