Agency report
Dozens are feared dead after suspected Lakurawa terrorists launched attacks on several rural communities in the Arewa Local Government Area on Wednesday.
According to local and security sources, the gunmen “stormed villages in the remote border district, opening fire on residents” in what survivors described as “highly organised and indiscriminate assaults.”
Security breakdowns indicate that 16 people were killed in Mamunu, five in Awashaka, three in Masama, and two in each of five other affected villages.
The attacks sparked panic, forcing many residents to flee their homes as the assailants raided houses and shot at civilians.
Security operatives have been deployed to the area to protect communities, assist survivors, and block possible escape routes for the attackers. Tracking operations are ongoing.
Confirming the incident, Kebbi State Police Public Relations Officer Bashir Usman said, “Further details would be provided as investigations continue.”
