Nigeria: Armed gangs kill dozens in northeast
[DW] Armed gangs in northeast Nigeria
... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border...
have killed dozens of people in two suspected attacks, a local governor and villagers said Saturday.

In a statement, the governor of Taraba state, Agbu Kefas, said "scores of people reportedly bit the dust and properties" in the attacks in the villages of Munga and Magani, in Karim Lamido district, early on Saturday.
What do we know about the attacks?

Kefas did not provide an exact corpse count, but Nigerian outlet the Daily Post said more than 30 people had been killed by armed gangs, known in the West African country as "bandidos."

"It was midnight, I heard gunshots, I woke up my brother and other people in our area," Magani resident Moses Kefas told AFP news agency.

He added that he and his neighbors returned after the button men had left. "I saw 16 bodies scattered around the village," he said.

Andrew John, from Munga, said he had seen about 13 dead bodies in his village.
