Tension has gripped residents of Tenebo village in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State following a deadly attack by suspected bandits on a Mobile Police Force camp in the early hours of Saturday.

The assailants reportedly stormed the facility under the cover of darkness, unleashing violence that left casualties among security personnel stationed in the area.

Local sources said the attack, which occurred overnight, has heightened fears among residents who have been grappling with recurring incidents of insecurity in the community.

Confirming the development, the spokesperson of the Kwara State Police Command, Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, disclosed in a statement issued in Ilorin that the command is aware of the incident.

“I regret to confirm that an attack on the PMF Camp occurred in the early hours of today (Saturday). I will provide more accurate and detailed information shortly,” she stated.

The latest assault underscores growing concerns over the resurgence of banditry in Kaiama, where communities have faced repeated attacks marked by killings and abductions for ransom.

Residents of nearby Woro and Nuku villages have also been victims of similar attacks in recent times, as armed groups continue to target vulnerable rural settlements, raising questions about the adequacy of security measures in the area.

Leadership is about service and measurable impact. Though Hon. Mayokun Lawson-Alade (LAF) spent less than two years representing Akure North/South Federal Constituency in the 9th Assembly, his brief tenure demonstrated genuine commitment to the people.

Within that short period, he initiated critical projects, amplified the voice of his constituents, and laid a solid foundation for development. His time was cut short before he could fully deliver on his mandate.

Now, we have another opportunity.

The forthcoming primary election is not about sentiment. It is about competence, experience, and continuity. It is about choosing a representative who understands the terrain, knows the job, and is prepared to complete the work he started.

Hon. Lawson-Alade is no stranger to our challenges. He understands the needs of Akure North/South and possesses the capacity, network, and vision to address them effectively.

Returning him to the National Assembly means choosing progress. It means choosing a proven advocate who can deliver strong, steady, and purposeful representation.

Akure North/South needs a voice that knows the road and can move us forward without delay.

Let us unite behind a man who has already shown commitment, competence, and compassion.

Support Hon. Mayokun Lawson-Alade (LAF).
Vote Hon. Mayokun Lawson-Alade (LAF).

Let him finish what he started.
