A senior government security team has visited Lafiagi, the headquarters of Edu Local Government Area in Kwara State, Nigeria, following violent protests triggered by recent anti-drug operations.

The delegation, which included the state’s Commissioner of Police, Ojo Adekimi; Brigade Commander, Brigadier General Ezra Barkins; and the Governor’s Senior Special Assistant on Security, Alhaji Muideen Aliyu, was welcomed by local officials including the council chairman, Hon. Abdullahi Bello, and the Development Officer for Edu, Alhaji Haruna Likpata.

Explaining the cause of the unrest, Aliyu stated: “Tension in Lafiagi was linked to various community issues, especially the security crackdown on hard drug dealers.”

Protesters, angered by the arrest of suspected drug traffickers, reportedly stormed the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) office. They burned three vehicles and several motorcycles, freed three detainees, and made away with confiscated substances. Demonstrators also attempted to attack the Emir’s Palace, alleging the traditional ruler had failed to intervene in the arrests.

“This is nothing short of criminal behaviour, and we condemn it in the strongest terms,” Aliyu added. “Fortunately, soldiers and other security personnel have restored calm to Lafiagi. We also met community members at the Emir’s Palace to urge restraint and emphasise the need for peace.”

He confirmed that no fatalities were recorded during Monday morning’s incident. Additional police and military units have been deployed to the area to prevent further violence.

The delegation expressed appreciation to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for his swift action, which was instrumental in restoring order.
