[AlAhram] When dozens of button men raided Abubakar Aliyu's village in central Nigeria two weeks ago, they stormed in on cycle of violences, each carrying one or two attackers who opened fire and chased down residents.By the time security forces arrived, more than 100 villagers were dead and scores of homes destroyed after button men targeted four villages simultaneously, residents and local officials said.
Aliyu escaped the Sunday morning attack with workers on his construction site, but not before he and others were shot and one colleague killed.
