176 Abducted in Kwara State Attack Regain Freedom
Kwara State Government officials announced on Wednesday that 176 individuals abducted during an attack on the Woro and Nuku communities in Kaiama Local Government Area have been freed.
The announcement was made via a post on the state’s official Facebook page. It expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the security forces, stating, “Alihamdulillaah and kudos to everyone who played a role in this huge feat. We are grateful.”
The victims were kidnapped on February 3, 2026, when a group linked to Boko Haram launched a coordinated assault on the rural communities, using motorcycles in a violent invasion that lasted several hours. The attack has been characterized as one of the deadliest in Kwara State’s history, resulting in over 200 fatalities, numerous injuries, widespread destruction of homes and businesses, and the displacement of many residents.
