In a disturbing video, suspected Boko Haram terrorists, known as Jama’atu Ahlissunnah Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, paraded 176 kidnapped victims, including women, children, and a nursing mother, who were purportedly taken from the Woro community in Kaiama Local Government Area, Kwara State.
In the footage , one of the terrorists is seen interrogating the captives, asking them to state where they were kidnapped.
Three women, including a nursing mother, responded sequentially in Hausa that they had been kidnapped at Woro community in Kaiama Local Government Area, Kwara State.
Dozens of women and children can be seen in the video standing in rows, many of them clearly upset.
The filthy, worn-out appearance of their clothing and the fact that several of the kids were spotted without trousers highlight the terrible circumstances in which they are being detained.
One of the terrorists publicly charged the Kwara State administration with purposefully misleading Nigerians and the foreign community about the scope of the kidnappings while displaying the victims.
The terrorist in the video claimed that the state government had lied when it declared that just 20 to 30 persons had been abducted, despite the fact that they had 176 victims in their captivity.
Recall that on February 4, 2026, it was reported that dozens of people were brutally massacred following a coordinated and deadly attack by suspected Sahel-backed terrorists on Woro community in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State.
