VIDEO: Boko Haram Terrorists Parade Over 100 Kidnapped Victims In Kwara, Accuse Tinubu’s Govt Of Downplaying Figures
Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have released a disturbing video in which they paraded 176 abducted victims, including women, children and a nursing mother, allegedly seized from Woro community in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State.
In the video, one of the terrorists is seen interrogating the captives, asking them to state where they were kidnapped.
Responding in Hausa language, three women, including a nursing mother, answered one after the other that they were abducted at Woro community in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State.
The footage shows dozens of women and children standing in rows, many of them visibly distressed.
Their clothes appeared dirty and worn, while several of the children were seen without trousers, underscoring the harsh conditions under which they are being held.
While parading the victims, one of the terrorists openly accused the Kwara State government of deliberately misleading Nigerians and the international community over the scale of the abductions.
According to the terrorist in the video, the state government lied by claiming that only between 20 and 30 people were kidnapped, when, he said, the number of captives in their custody stood at 176.
“The Kwara State government lied to Nigeria and to the whole world,” the terrorist alleged, insisting that the number of abducted persons was far higher than officially acknowledged.
The video has stirred renewed fears over the security situation in Kaiama Local Government Area, particularly in Kwara North and south Senatorial district that residents say remain vulnerable to attacks by armed groups operating across the state.
As of the time of filing this report, the Kwara State Government had not responded to the claims made in the video or clarified the exact number of persons abducted from Woro community.
