The Mahmuda group, believed to be responsible for escalating insecurity near the Kainji Lake National Park, has reportedly taken over multiple communities across Kwara and neighboring Niger State. Affected areas include Kemaanji, Tenebo, Baabete, Nuku, and Nanu in Kaiama LGA, as well as villages within Yashikira District. In Niger State, the group is said to have seized control of Babana and Wawa Districts in Borgu LGA.
Efforts to reach the Kwara State Police Command for an official response were unsuccessful. The police spokesperson, SP Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, did not respond to calls.
Local residents expressed growing concern over the lack of government intervention and the deepening fear within their communities. One source from Kemanji reported that the village has effectively fallen under militant control, prompting residents to flee to Kaiama town or relocate to Ilorin and other safer areas.
“These people have taken over our forests for years without incident, but during Ramadan, the Nigerian Army launched an attack that killed some of their fighters. Since then, the group has been retaliating,” one resident explained. “Now the Army has withdrawn, and we’re left exposed.”
Previous reports had highlighted an audio warning from Mahmuda militants threatening to attack Duruma and surrounding areas in Borgu Kingdom, promising to eliminate anyone who resisted them.
As tensions rise and fear spreads, calls for immediate security intervention continue to mount from the affected communities.
