At least 40 Villagers Shot Dead in Nigeria by Gunmen.

Posted on May 22, 2024May 22, 2024 By Naomy Mbaka No Comments on At least 40 Villagers Shot Dead in Nigeria by Gunmen.

At least 40 killed in northcentral Nigeria after armed men attacked remote villagers during a late-night raid, authorities said Tuesday.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack which follows a similar pattern to yearslong violence in the region blamed on the fight for control over water and land between nomadic herders and rural farmers.

These raids have so far killed hundreds in the region.

According to local news cited witnesses are saying at least 40 people were killed in Plateau’s Wase district on Monday night.

However, government officials told The Associated Press only 12 casualties have so far been confirmed.

It is common for official figures to be less than that of witness accounts in such attacks.

The attackers opened fire on villagers in Wase’s Zurak community, forcing many to flee into nearby bushes, Musa Ashoms, the state commissioner for information said.

“We are trying to comb the area to see whether we have more casualties or people with bullet wounds,” he added.

Idris Wase,s federal legislator from Plateau’s Wase district said that the motorcycle-riding gunmen attacked the village following a security operation that targeted their hideouts and aimed to “wipe” them out of the area.

Locals have repeatedly expressed concern over how the assailants can attack villages for hours and escape before security forces arrive on the scene.

Arrests following such attacks are rare.

In December, assailants killed at least 140 residents during an attack that targeted more than a dozen communities over two days.
