নাইজেরিয়ায় বন্দুকধারীদের হামলায় নিহত ২০

Gunmen on motorcycles attacked Binnari village in Taraba State, Nigeria, on Friday after Friday prayers, firing indiscriminately, according to residents. Residents told AFP that at least 20 people were killed; resident Sa'idu Nuhu said more than 20 bodies were counted after the attackers left. Police said 10 bodies had been recovered as of Friday evening and that the attackers looted shops of cash, food and other goods. Amnesty International said at least 40 people were killed and criticised authorities for leaving rural communities at the mercy of gunmen. Taraba state authorities reportedly put the toll at 25, and governor Agbu Kefas condemned the killings and urged security agencies to act. Banditry has grown in northwest and central Nigeria. Separately, the military said an air strike in Borno State killed 15 'terrorists'.
