Residents of Woro community in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State have fled to neighbouring Niger State following a deadly terrorist attack that reportedly left over 176 people dead during the week.

The attack, which occurred on Tuesday evening and lasted until Wednesday morning, forced families to abandon their homes, escaping with little or no personal belongings as fear spread across the community and adjoining villages.

A viral video seen by our correspondent on Saturday shows displaced residents who took refuge in Wawa town, Niger State, gathered by the roadside.

Several vehicles believed to have conveyed them from Kwara State were seen parked nearby. Punch
