The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) on Friday confirmed the deployment of a response team to assess and coordinate intervention activities following the recent bandit attack on Woro and Nuku communities in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State. NEMA Director-General, Mrs. Zubaida Umar, also directed the team from the Agency’s Minna Operations Office, which covers Kwara State, to temporarily relocate to the affected areas to conduct a detailed, on-the-ground assessment of the situation and the needs of the impacted communities. The assessment is being carried out in collaboration with the Kwara State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) and relevant security agencies to ensure an effective, coordinated, and well-informed response. The Agency has arranged relief items, including food and non-food materials, which are already on the ground to support victims in the affected communities. Mrs. Umar expressed her heartfelt sympathies to the affected communities and the Kwara State Government over the unfortunate incident and assured them of NEMA’s full support.
