Viral Video Shows 176 Women and Children Held Captive After Kwara Attack

A disturbing video has emerged showing 176 women and children abducted during a deadly raid on Woro community in Kaiama Local Government Area, Kwara State. In the footage, mostly women and minors stand in rows outdoors, surrounded by armed men as they plead for urgent rescue. The attackers claim more victims remain unreported and accuse authorities of downplaying the scale of the abduction. Reports say gunmen stormed the community in February, killing residents, burning homes and seizing dozens of women and children. Families describe their plight as heartbreaking and fear this may be their last chance for intervention. This incident has heightened concerns over rising insecurity in North-Central Nigeria, following an earlier massacre that left many dead or missing.
