- A viral video shows a man claiming residents of Omupo, Kwara State, have fled due to insecurity, though authorities have yet to confirm the situation.
A viral video has raised concerns after a Nigerian man alleged that residents of a community in Omupo have abandoned their homes due to ongoing insecurity.
In the footage circulating on social media, the man claimed the town appeared largely deserted following repeated attacks by suspected terrorists. The video showed what he described as empty streets and abandoned buildings.
“There are no residents anymore in this town as everyone have fled and left their homes because of terrorist attacks,” he alleged while filming the area.
He further identified the location as Omupo in Kwara State, stating that fear had forced residents to relocate in search of safety.
The video has since generated mixed reactions online, with some users expressing concern over the reported situation, while others questioned the accuracy and timing of the claims.
In other news… Popular social commentator Isaac Fayose has shared an emotional update, revealing that his wife is currently battling cancer.
In an Instagram video, Fayose recounted how he recently traveled to Australia to visit his family, only to face the heartbreaking reality of his wife’s deteriorating health.
He described how she was too weak to greet him, a stark change from her usual routine of welcoming him at the airport and preparing meals for him. Fayose had to take an Uber home and cook for himself, while his wife lay unable to speak or move.
While sitting beside her, he sang her favourite hymn, Abide With Me, first in English and then in Yoruba, in an effort to comfort her. Although her eyes remained closed, she gently squeezed his hand, showing that she could still hear him.
“My wife has cancer, and she’s very unwell. When I arrived, she was too weak even to turn and greet me. Normally, she picks me up from the airport and cooks for me, but this time, I had to take an Uber. I had to prepare meals for her because she couldn’t cook or speak,” Fayose said, visibly emotional.
He used the moment to highlight the broader issues in Nigeria, stressing that wealth cannot prevent illness or save lives. Fayose criticised politicians for mismanaging public funds while hospitals remain in poor condition, referencing reports of hospitals in Ekiti lacking basic amenities like electricity and running water.
“Our one-million-dollar house couldn’t save my wife. My wealth couldn’t save her. She was lying there helpless. Why make others suffer while we have so much? Even my money couldn’t save her,” he lamented.
Fayose also addressed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging him to consider stepping down due to his age of 74 and allow new leadership to tackle the country’s challenges.
