No One Has Been Arrested, Persecuted – Falz Blasts Govt Over Kwara Killings
Nigerian rapper and activist, Folarin Falana, known as Falz, has criticized the Federal Government over its handling of the deadly attack in Kwara State.
Falz said the country’s leaders are focused on politics while citizens are being killed.
In a video shared on his Instagram page on Sunday, Falz questioned why government officials and political groups are already preparing for the 2027 elections despite ongoing attacks by armed groups across the country.
He expressed anger that after the mass killing in Kwara, the response from authorities appeared limited to official statements without visible action.
Falz’ comment comes days after gunmen attacked Woro and Nuku villages in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State.
The assault, which happened on February 3, 2026, left at least 162 people dead, according to the Red Cross.
The attackers moved from house to house, killing residents after the communities refused to accept their demand to follow their form of Sharia law.
The attackers are believed to be linked to Boko Haram or the Islamic State-backed Lakurawa group.
Many of the victims were reportedly tied before they were shot, causing shock and outrage across the country.
President Bola Tinubu later announced the deployment of an army battalion to Kwara State under Operation Savannah Shield and condemned the attack.
However, Falz argued that such steps were not enough, pointing out that no arrests or court cases have been made public since the killings.
The rapper also criticised political parties for pushing ahead with campaign plans while affected communities are still mourning.
He expressed concern that politicians are appointing regional coordinators and building structures ahead of 2027, even though the Electoral Act allows campaigns to begin only months before elections.
Falz further accused some religious leaders of remaining silent on major national issues.
He spoke against their failure to speak out after the Senate rejected a proposal that would make real-time electronic transmission of election results compulsory.
According to Falz, allowing politicians to use church platforms while avoiding difficult national conversations contributes to poor leadership.
He added that relying only on prayers without action has not helped resolve Nigeria’s security problems.
He said: “I thought nearly 200 people were killed in Kwara. The President came out and released a statement, a normal statement, saying he was saddened. Who has been arrested? Who has been prosecuted for this? Nobody. Nothing. We just move on.”
“People are being killed every day, but what is the government doing? They are setting up structures for 2027 elections.”
“They have announced coordinators for the East, for the West, for the South. These same people will still go to churches, and your daddy G.O will allow them to campaign on the pulpit and convince you to vote for the same evil.”
“Your papa will not tell you that the Senate is refusing to amend the Electoral Act to allow real-time transmission of election results because they know it will stop them from rigging.”
“Papa will just tell you to sit down, wait, and pray for a spiritual solution.”
Nigerian actress Scarlet Gomez has revealed that her husband does not care about her kissing on a movie set when speaking about trust and boundaries in marriage.
The actress, known for her remarkable performance in the Nigerian series movie “Wura”, made this disclosure in a recent episode of the Curiosity Made Me Ask.
During the discussion, media personality Isbaeu made a reference involving a man, questioning how people handle romantic encounters and the narratives they give afterwards.
He said, “I don’t know how you people do it, you’ll kiss somebody and go home and say it is Joshua I kissed. It’s not Joshua you kissed, it was Yomi Fash-Lanso you kissed.”
Reacting to the conversation, Scarlet Gomez emphasised trust and confidence in her marriage, stating that her husband is unbothered by her on-screen roles involving kissing scenes.
The actress said, “I’m married to a man, not a boy. He doesn’t have a small ego, and he trusts his wife. Moving on.”
The exchange has since gained attention online, fueling discussions about trust in relationships and how partners handle boundaries within the entertainment industry.

Basketmouth’s Ex-wife Threatens Legal Action Over Claims Paternity Fraud Ended Her Marriage
Comedian, Basketmouth’s ex-wife, Elsie Okpocha, has threatened to sue anyone spreading false news about her failed marriage.
The estranged couple got married in November 2010 and broke up in 2022 December.
Basketmouth, who announced the end of their in an Instagram post, claimed that the decision was sequel to much deliberations between the two of them.
But the claims of the paternity fraud surfaced on social media a month ago after a blog reported that Basketmouth during an interview allegedly disclosed that DNA results of their first child led to their divorce.
Reacting to the controversy on Saturday in a letter by her legal representative, Primeview Legal, Elsie denied the paternity fraud allegation and warned the public to desist from “false and unfounded” publications.
She further threatened to sue any individual or blogs found guilty of spreading such news for defamation, and invasion of privacy.
Expressing concerns over the psychological effects of such reports on her first child, she said in the legal letter shared on her Instagram page “some innocent members of the public may take such publications as the true state of things in the marriage and begin to bully their son on and off social media spaces with the consequential psychological trauma that will be inflicted on him, hence this intervention.”
Burna Boy’s mother, Bose Ogulu, has reacted to her son’s cussing and profane language using her name during a lifestream.
The singer used the curse words while denying beating DJ Tunez with his crew members.
Wizkid had in a post on X, accused Burna Boy and his 10 man team of beating the DJ in Lagos’ night club over failure to play his music.
Denying the allegation on Wednesday during a Livestream with singer Shallipopi, Burna Boy said “Na only me touch DJ Tunez, no be 10 people. Na two slaps I give am. I swear with my mama. If I dey lie, make Ogun carry my mama go anywhere wey Wizkid mama dey.”
Following Burna Boy’s claim, a clear video of the incident capturing him and his team kicking DJ Tunez on the floor went viral on social media as against his claim.
Reacting to the development, the singer’s mother, Bose Ogulu, turned to a prayer warrior.
A viral video online captured her being surrounded by her son’s crew members as they prayed against every evil declaration and spirit.
“Oloun ma je a remi kemi. Oloun ma je a remi kemi”, she prayed in Yoruba.
