Panic In Offa, Kwara, As Midnight Explosions Destroy Buildings After Trump Announces US Airstrikes On ISIS In Nigeria

Residents of Offa, Kwara State, were thrown into panic late Thursday night after loud explosions rocked parts of the town, destroying residential buildings.

This comes shortly after United States President Donald Trump announced U.S. airstrikes targeting ISIS positions in parts of Nigeria.

However, it remains unclear whether the military action in Offa was part of the US airstrikes or carried out solely by the Nigerian military.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing debris raining down from the sky, suggesting the explosion may have been caused by a drone-delivered bomb.

In a video exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters, a large fragment believed to be part of a drone bomb is seen lying on the ground shortly after the explosion.

SaharaReporters gathered that at least five houses and several shops were destroyed, with debris scattered across the affected areas.

The video footage shows damaged buildings and distressed residents calling on the Kwara State Government to urgently intervene.

Some residents questioned why Offa, a largely peaceful town, would be affected by such an incident.

Why would they launch a bomb here?” one visibly shaken resident asked. Another added, “We saw the drone remnants after it destroyed a house.”

A member of the local vigilante group who visited the scene confirmed the explosion, stating that it occurred around midnight.

I got there after 12 a.m. I called the Balogun (war chief), and he came immediately. We went to the hotel where one of the explosions occurred, but I won’t mention the hotel’s name. The hotel was damaged. Another explosion happened around the prayer ground near Ijagbo in Offa,” he said.

According to him, several houses, storey buildings, and other structures were damaged. “We thank God that no lives were lost,” he added.

As of the time of filing this report, authorities have yet to issue an official statement on the incident, and it remains unclear whether Offa was an unintended target of the reported U.S. strikes or if the explosion was linked to another cause.

Una never see anything.

US will bomb indiscriminately and claim they were targeting terrorists.

Is that not how to ensure a naval blockade, US Navy was bombing fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela?

From claiming to fighting drug cartels to now claiming he wants to recover US oil under Venezuelan soil, this is how Trump and his neocon will keep changing the narrative.

Now the US navy has now become a full time piracy operation seizing Venezuelan oil tankers.

Don't worry, una go soon see the final result.

Same Trump that deoloyed troops to Syria in his first term and claimed he was fighting ISIS in Syria who were killing Christians, has now recognized one of the leaders of ISIS as Syria's defacto leader and warmly received him in the WH.

Una never see anything.

At the end nah Shekau son or Mohammed Yusuf son dem go make una ruler.

Try to have some shame atleast once in your entire life.

You Tinubu and APC apologists are no longer screaming that Nigeria is a sovereign nation, Trump is a bully and that he wants to turn Nigeria into Libya, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

This US strike is a testament of the fact that Tinubu is an incompetent buffoon

I know all about that and I know all about Trump. That has nothing to do with the fact that sahara thrives on sensationalism and outright lies.
When we get to the point of US strikes killing innocent people we will address that based on facts.

Well, we didn't see the "guns a blazing" Trump promised you initially. I bet he realized quickly that such approach was a non starter.
I will support anyone who can help us in eliminating terrorists in Nigeria, there's no shame about that.
If you are unhappy that terrorists are being killed perhaps you are one of them.

I also see.Sahara reporters as a rumour mill but their rumour reporting usually is limited to happenings among politicians.

This Offa bombing can not be a rumour or fake news by Sahara Reporters because it will be too blatant .

I believe its true, and sooner other outfits will pick up on it.

At best , it could be a malfunctioned missile or reaper drone that crashed or the idiots coordinating the strike got their coordinates wrong.

But I strongly believe it was a deliberate target and the US will come out to defend the strike claiming it was a terrorist hide out.

This is how the US military under Obama was droning any gathering in Iraq and killing innocent civilians who were attending a marriage ceremony.

The US is hell bent on radicalizing the moderate Muslims in the north and this will see to full blown war in due time if nothing is done to stop this direct attacks on our sovereignty.

The US goal is to break Nigeria into pieces by plunging the north, middle belt into full blown war and from there create Biafra with SS annexed to it.

This is the goal of IPOB because they know a united Nigeria will never allow the annexation of SS but a weakened , battered and war torn Nigeria will give IPOB the opportunity to roll into SS with little resistance from the rest of a beleaguered and weakened Nigeria.

Why do you think the likes of gidgiddy and other IPOB drones have been calling for Nigeria's dissolution instead of focusing on having their Biafra dot granted through the Senate?

When Arewa took FG under Buhari to court demanding the FG grant Biafra with the five States , their leaders went to beg Buhari to beg Arewa to withdraw the case. They did this because their Biafra is not feasible without annexing SS by force.

Also several US Senators have supported the creation of Biafra after IPOB lobbied that they will allow a permanent US base in the SS coast and give US all the oil therein that isn't theirs to give in the rest place.

Trump isn't fighting for any Christians in Nigeria . He can't even find Nigeria on a map. He is only interested in the oil and having a military base in the SS.

The blowback from all this will end badly for those treacherous and treasonous IPOB who have now graduated to aligning with the US to.wage war on Nigeria.


One thing they don't know is that it always ends badly for US proxies and the US are a fickle ally that are quick to abandon or switch sides if things aren't going as planned. See Ukraine as an example.

Don't worry. Same US drones will be taegtting your village in due time when US changes the narrative.

The US and Israel has a thing for jihadists because they created them.

Fought Taliban for 20ys only to.hand over to.same Taliban and gifted them state of the art weapons worth over $40bn

Trump went into Syria in his first term claiming he was targeting ISIS only to do nothing but target Syrian Armed Forces and stole their oil fields. What's the result today, a wanted ISIS terrorist who.had a $10mil bounty on his head is now the defacto ruler in Syria recognised by Trump and Israel.

Your type will soon convert to Islam.on the pain of death when ISIS takes over Nigeria because that is the goal of all this nonsense.

I hope Nigerians can see their enemies now
Zombies have been on overdrive aiming to discredit the US intervention in a bid to ensure that no further missiles rain on their beloved terrorists.
Everyone knows zombies are not happy with terrorists being decimated. See them now actively looking to discredit the strikes with their usual lies and propaganda.
Nigerians be wise oo

Is Offa part of terrorists enclave?, Is it part of NW that they claimed they conducted an airstrike?. So why did US strike Offa?. Those wailers and Trump's asss lickers go dey alright, no one is safe.

BTW, where are the bodies of ISIS they killed?, abi na audio airstrike.

We are not like you who sell your children.

But I an glad you are now exposing the real intentions of Trump's hidden imperialism which isn't about fighting jihaidst and secure Christians but instead it is the oil in the SS that is their goal.

US has only 15ys left of oil reserves at current production rates and need to secure the oil in Venezuela and Nigeria.



If you think you can repeat the foolishness of 1967, you are in for something.

SS will never be part of any Neocolonialist project that will be Biafra.

Keep exposing your hand for all to see.

The US will abandon this latest belligerency and you will bear the full brunt for your treachery.

The worst that can happen is Nigeria breaks up but you will forever be a leper in your landlocked dot.

There is no reason why SS will need to be in same country with you.
