Six people were killed and two others injured in a brutal attack at the Ilesah Baruba motor park in Baruten Local Government Area (LGA), Kwara State, following an assault by armed gunmen.

Ejire-Adeyemi warned that anyone caught aiding or abetting crime in any part of the state will face the full weight of the law.
