At least 30 killed, several abducted as gunmen attack village in Nigeria’s Niger state

At least 30 people were killed and several abducted after gunmen attacked Kasuwan-Daji village in Niger state, Nigeria, setting homes and a market on fire. Residents dispute police claims of security deployment, saying no personnel arrived and the death toll may exceed 40, with many still missing. The attack highlights ongoing insecurity in northern Nigeria, where armed gangs exploit weak security and frequently target rural communities.
