Insecurity: 40-year-old woman on the run

A 40-year-old woman, Olarinde Doris Titilayo, has fled Nigeria following a series of attacks in June 2023 from people believed to be Boko Haram in Sabo Geri (an area which is predominantly occupied by Yoruba) in Borno State. 

We learned that during the attack by the sect, her parents (mum and ) were killed.

She managed to escape to Oyo State, South West Nigeria. The area was also attacked by kidnappers in 2024, and three of her neighbours were killed. The case was reported to the police.

Titilayo Olarinde, who was rescued by a good Samaritan and is currently taking refuge in a country outside Nigeria, has vowed not to return to the country in a hurry because of the insecurity in Nigeria.

A distraught Olarinde however calls on relevant authorities to come to Nigeria’s aid and restore lasting peace and order while also thanking the good Samaritan who rescued her from the clutches of her tormentors noting that the country of her birth is still full of good people with good hearts.
