A video circulating on social media has sparked concern after a Nigerian man alleged that residents of a community in Omupo have abandoned their homes due to persistent insecurity.
In the footage, the individual claimed the town had been largely deserted following repeated attacks by suspected terrorists, showing empty streets and abandoned buildings. He identified the location as Omupo in Kwara State.
“There are no residents anymore in this town as everyone has fled and left their homes because of terrorist attacks,” he alleged while filming the area, adding that fear had forced residents to relocate for safety.
The video has since generated mixed reactions online. While some users expressed concern over the security situation in parts of the country, others questioned the accuracy and timing of the claims.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official confirmation from security agencies or authorities in Kwara State regarding the alleged mass displacement in the community.
