Armed gang kills at least 34 in northwest Nigeria, police say

| Not War on Terror, as the article refers only to bandits rather than Boko Haram, Boko Haram-linked Fulani herders, or the Shia troublemakers led by a former Sunni Al Qaeda ally who got religion. It seems that up in the Muslim part of Nigeria they all are doing their very best to reduce surplus population using any excuse that comes to hand. |
[AlAhram] An armed gang killed at least 34 people in attacks on villages in northwest Nigeria, police said on Sunday, part of a wave of violence the government has blamed on bandidos.
Hundreds of people have died in the northwest region this year, adding to security problems in a country already struggling with Islamist insurgencies in the northeast and a brutal conflict between farmers and herders in central states.
The armed gang came to unprotected villages in the northwestern state of Zamfara on Friday night, killing 34 people, said Muhammed Shehu, police front man for the state.
People from the village told Rooters the attackers escaped.
"We heard gunshots and saw people running for shelter, chased by men on cycle of violence s," said Shehu Shinkafi.
"We immediately took cover in a house nearby, and after the bandidos were done with their killing spree they moved to a nearby village," he said, adding he counted 12 bodies in his village alone.
The gang left without any resistance as there were no security agents in the area, and it was only after the massacre that police arrived hours later, Shinkafi and two other witnesses said.
