According to Amnesty International Nigeria, armed bandits targeted Binnari village in Taraba state, burning homes, shops, food supplies and numerous motorcycles. Police warned that the death toll could continue to rise.
Nigeria faces a severe security crisis that began more than 15 years ago, when the armed group Boko Haram launched an insurgency against the government. Civilians in the country’s north are frequently subjected to attacks, kidnappings and ransom demands by armed bandits. By: Rithy
