Kwara Must Change is alarmed by the unfortunate silence of the Kwara State government over the brutal killings of young people in Lafiaji town by trigger happy soldiers at the call of Mr. Sha’aba Lafiaji, a senator representing Kwara North senatorial district.

On Friday, 17th November 2017, 4 bright and promising young men were shot dead by soldiers attached to Senator Sha’aba Lafiaji for exercising their fundamental human rights of peaceful protest against the senator over misrepresentation of the people.
