Deadly attack in Nigerian village leaves 18 dead

Among the fatalities were four Nigerian soldiers who arrived at the scene in response to the attack, according to local sources.

Although no group has claimed responsibility for the incident, eyewitness testimonies point towards the involvement of Fulani herdsmen.

The exact motive behind the attack remains uncertain; however, it is likely connected to an ongoing conflict between farmer and pastoralist communities. (ILKHA)
