13 Years After Deadly Attack, Woman Returns to Her Deserted Village—What She Found Is Heartbreaking

A Nigerian woman has stirred emotional reactions online after documenting her first return to her childhood village—13 years after she was forced to flee due to a violent attack by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the woman posted a moving video capturing the desolate condition of the village she once called home. The footage shows dilapidated mud houses overtaken by thick vegetation, with a haunting stillness enveloping the entire community.

She also appeared in the video, walking through what used to be bustling family homes and compounds, now crumbling and forgotten.

According to her, she left the village during the height of unrest over a decade ago and had not returned since, until this emotional journey.

The video sparked a wave of comments from viewers who expressed sadness, outrage, and sympathy over the village’s condition and the loss of heritage.

Some users lamented how the attackers not only displaced residents but brought no progress or development in their wake. Others questioned how she even managed to reach such a remote, overgrown location, while a few suggested the land could now be reclaimed by the rightful owners.

The story serves as a grim reminder of the long-lasting effects of violence and displacement in parts of rural Nigeria, where many communities remain abandoned and forgotten.
