A distraught Nigerian woman has made an emotional appeal to President Bola Tinubu, weeping openly on social media hours after terrorists attacked a church in Eruku, Kwara State and kidnapped her sister along with three children.
Heartbreaking Plea for Presidential Intervention
In a viral TikTok video posted from her account @theadeliciouss101, the visibly shaken woman begged for immediate government intervention as she revealed the devastating impact the attack had on her family. "Please help us, President, we're begging you. They took away my sister with her three children. Please, I can't bear this," she cried in the emotional footage.
The attack occurred in Eruku, Kwara State, with the woman sharing her video just hours after the deadly incident that has left the community in panic. Her desperate appeal highlights the growing security concerns in the region as terrorist activities appear to be escalating.
Terrorist Expansion Warning Across Kwara State
The woman issued a stark warning about the potential spread of terrorist activities to neighboring communities if immediate action isn't taken. She specifically named several locations that could be targeted next as the attackers advance through the state.
"They might soon leave Eruku, go to Obole; when they leave Obole, they'll go to Osi, from Osi to Odo Owa. When won't they get to Omu Aran?" she questioned, expressing fear for her extended family members living in these areas.
Her warning suggests a coordinated pattern of movement by the terrorists, indicating they may be systematically working their way through multiple communities in Kwara State. This revelation has raised concerns about the broader security implications for the region.
