At least 48 killed in attacks in northwestern Nigeria
ISTANBUL (AA): At least 48 people were killed by gunmen in three villages in northwestern Nigeria on Friday, according to local authorities.
Aminu Suleiman, a local official in Bakura in Zamfara State, confirmed the attacks on Sunday, saying that bandits on motorcycles attacked people in Sabon Gari, Damri, and Kalahe, local media reported.
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday commended the military “for not showing any let up as they continue to achieve positive outcomes based on their current operational trajectory in the Northwest and particularly Zamfara State which has been a hotbed of criminal activity.”
He added: “We mustn’t allow the return of days when the bandits had a free hand to do as they wished.”
