Over 200 people have been killed in a series of attacks by bandits in Zamfara State, Nigeria.
According to reports, the attacks took place in several communities, including Kanoma, Gobirawa, and Sabon Birni. The bandits reportedly arrived on motorcycles and began shooting indiscriminately, targeting residents and burning down homes and other buildings. The Zamfara State government has condemned the attacks and promised to increase security measures to prevent further violence.
In recent months, Nigeria has been grappling with a surge in insecurity, with banditry, kidnappings, and attacks on communities becoming more frequent. The government has deployed security forces to affected areas and initiated dialogues with bandits, but these measures have yet to curb the violence.
Nigerians are calling on the government to do more to protect citizens and address the root causes of the insecurity.
