At least 30 people were killed in a terrorist attack on a village in Niger State, Nigeria, according to police reports. Armed assailants emerged from a nearby forest near Kasuwan-Daji village on Saturday, setting fire to the local market and looting shops. Witnesses said the attackers arrived on motorcycles, gathered villagers, and opened fire indiscriminately. Local sources also reported that several people were abducted during the assault.
Officials from the Niger State Emergency Management Agency confirmed the incident, stating that villagers were captured and killed. The agency’s representative, Abdullahi Rofia, said residents were terrified and hiding, fearing further attacks. Police spokesperson Wasiu Abiodun said emergency teams had been dispatched to assist the injured and that security forces were working to rescue the abducted individuals.
The Nigerian government has designated such armed groups as terrorists and banned ransom payments, though reports suggest the rule is often ignored. The attack highlights the continuing wave of violence and kidnappings in Nigeria’s western and central regions.
