Suspected bandits, identified as Lakurawa terrorists, launched coordinated attacks on five villages in Arewa Local Government Area of Kebbi State, killing at least 10 people and injuring several others.
Counter-insurgency expert Zagazola Makama revealed this in a post on his X handle on Monday, citing intelligence sources. The affected villages include Birnin Debi, Garin Nagoro, Yar Goru, Dan Marke, and Tambo.
According to reports, the assailants stormed the villages at approximately 8:48 p.m. on March 9, 2025, setting houses ablaze and firing indiscriminately. Among the victims was 50-year-old Garba Maigari, while the identities of the other nine casualties remain unknown.
Several injured individuals were transported to the Federal Medical Centre in Birnin Kebbi for treatment, while the bodies of the deceased have been taken for autopsy.
Security forces, including Nigerian troops, police, and local vigilantes, have since been deployed to the affected areas, restoring order, Makama reported.
