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.”
Davido has explained the reason behind his emotional tribute during his performance at the FIFA World Cup, saying he could not remain silent while children and teachers are still missing in Nigeria.
Speaking on the gesture, the Afrobeats star said many people avoid discussing the country’s security challenges because they want to protect Nigeria’s image, but insisted that there is no image to protect when innocent children are being abducted.
> “A lot of people don’t really want to talk about what is going on in our country. Simply because they want to protect the image. But there’s no image to protect if little kids are being kidnapped,” Davido said.
The singer noted that although he was honoured to perform at the World Cup, he believed it was important to use the global stage to draw attention to the plight of the abducted pupils and teachers from Oyo State.
According to him, everyone has a unique way of making an impact, and his platform is music and live performances.
> “My power is in music and performances. These students and teachers have been missing and still haven’t been found. So yeah, I used my platform to project what’s really going on,” he added.

Nollywood actress and media personality Toke Makinwa has shared her views on the role of financial compatibility in relationships and marriage.
Speaking on a recent episode of the MENtality podcast hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Makinwa said she believes people should date within their income bracket, arguing that significant financial differences can create challenges in relationships.
She also claimed that many men pursue relationships with women whose lifestyles exceed their financial capacity, only to later complain that women are materialistic.
She said, “I am a big believer of date within your age and within your class. That way there will not be stories that touch.
“You will have a good girl at home, a girl who will even make dinner with her own money when you don’t have. Yet, some men will still want to cheat on her with a woman they can’t afford.
“Heaven forbid you end up with a guy who hasn’t blown. The day he blows that is when you will know his true personality.
“And that scares women. Money doesn’t change people, it just reveal who the person is. So many men are treating women who sacrificed everything for them badly.”
