At least 30 people have been killed after armed men stormed the village of Kasuwan-Daji in Nigeria’s Niger state, setting fire to the local market, looting shops, and kidnapping residents. The attackers, believed to be bandits, reportedly arrived on motorcycles from nearby forested areas, rounding up villagers and opening fire. The incident is the latest in a surge of deadly attacks across western and central Nigeria, where armed criminal gangs continue to exploit weak security and remote terrain.
