US-based man speaks on release of Kwara worshippers
On his X page, @AskMichaelTaiwo mentioned what saved the lives of the kidnapped victims and ensured their safety.
According to him, the video of the attack went viral globally and helped in the release of the victims.
His post read:
“This video saved the lives of the kidnapped worshippers. If this act of terror were not captured in HD for the whole world to see, it would not have sparked the type of international pressure it did.
“Major TV stations in the U.S., for instance, played this video on air. It’s sickening to note that the Nigerian government simply doesn’t care. Without U.S. pressure, these poor folks would have been left on their own.”

@JamesLantern2
They also just made it clear that the govt is in it all . How do they claim they rescued people without gun battle , the girls fled just like that and no arrests were made.

That's the bitter truth and I know that some people will attack you and deny this, the truth is sometimes ugly.
@MrFunshy
Some people in Nigeria, especially Souyheren Christain supporters of APC, are still debunking the video as A.I
@imariabe_jnr
Thank God for the internet, just imagine if this wasn't streamed, nobody would have known it has happened. Besides, why haven't any terrorist being apprehended?
@tmscool
I already made this statement that the reason for their swift release was because their kidnap was on video. Others will not be given that consideration. The fact that no criminal was killed or apprehended means just one thing.
This came after a member of the popular Dunamis church opened up about how her family members were abducted in the Kwara church attack on November 18.
In a recent video, she narrated how her sister and nephew were released from captivity five days after their abduction.
