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.

Ms Ejire-Adeyemi stated that a full-scale investigation into the attack has been initiated. She also reported a separate incident in Kaiama LGA on Sunday, 20 April 2025, where Yusuf Samba, a member of a vigilante group, was killed during a shootout with suspected bandits in Kainji National Park.

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