Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have released a disturbing video showing 176 abducted victims, including women, children, and a nursing mother, allegedly taken from Woro community in Kwara State’s Kaiama Local Government Area.
The video shows the captives, visibly distressed, with dirty and worn clothing, and some children without trousers, highlighting the harsh conditions they’re being held in.
One terrorist accuses the Kwara State government of misleading Nigerians and the international community about the scale of the abduction, claiming 176 victims are in their custody, contrary to the government’s claim of 20-30 people kidnapped.
The video has heightened fears over the security situation in Kaiama Local Government Area, particularly across Kwara North and South senatorial districts.
The abduction is linked to a February 4, 2026, attack on Woro community, where dozens were massacred, including two wives of the Emir of Woro, several of his children, the Chief Imam, a school principal, and students.
The Emir, Alhaji Saliu Bio Umar, remains missing, sparking fears he may have been abducted or killed.
