Gunmen kill at least 48 people in attacks on three villages in northwest Nigeria's Zamfara state, a local official and residents say
Zamfara state officials say over 700,000 people have been displaced by bandits, prompting authorities to open eight camps to accommodate them.
Dozens of gunmen on motorcycles entered the three villages—Damri, Sabon Garin and Kalahe—in coordinated attacks, shooting people as they tried to flee, a local official said on Sunday. The criminals have recently stepped up their assaults despite military operations against their hideouts. According to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project , bandits killed 2,600 civilians in 2021, an increase of 250 percent from 2020.
