  • The one-minute, 17-second clip published by Sahara Reporters shows dozens of female captives and minors in a forest near Woro community, many frail and barefoot, answering questions in Hausa.
  • Kwara State Government on Saturday said security agencies are analysing the video and engaging Woro community leaders, prioritizing safe rescue and justice while promising verified updates.
  • Community representatives say more persons remain unaccounted for amid security concerns in Kwara State, with no official confirmation from authorities about the video or abductions.
