More than 300 people kidnapped in separate attacks across northern Nigeria were rescued in a single operation and freed from forest captivity after months. Of those, 163 originated from the Woro community in Kwara state's Kaiama area and 145 from Niger state, with the group transferred to officials in Ilorin on August 7, 2026. Additional details on abduction dates, fatalities, and individual statements remain unverified by the two reporting outlets.
