The National Chairman of the Kaiama Development Association (KDA), Yakubu Salihu, says only 163 of the 176 women and children abducted in Woro, a community in the area in Kwara State, have been released, with the others unaccounted for.
Armed terrorists had invaded Woro on 3 February, killing scores of residents and abducting 176 women and children in one of the deadliest attacks recorded in Kwara North this year.
On Thursday, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq announced that the abductees and 145 others kidnapped from neighbouring Niger State had been rescued by the security forces in the Kainji Lake National Park forest.
