ZAMFARA, 12 March, 2021 (TON): In three deadly separate attacks, at least 31 killed in Nigeria on Thursday.

Reports said, men on motorcycles invaded the village of Damaga in Zamfara state in the northwest on Wednesday.

"The bandits arrived around 1:00 am and started shooting indiscriminately. They killed thirteen people," villager Ayuba Musa said.

These armed men "stole cows, sheep, and goats, they did not even spare the chickens," he added.

Another resident the media that the shooting caused panic in the village, where middle school students immediately fled their classrooms for fear of being kidnapped.

"We lost one person in the attack by the bandits and 18 others were shot and wounded," said Andrew Danjuma Jagaba, a member of parliament from that state.

Nigeria has been under criminal activity for so many times that had been persisted for more than a decade now, including several mass abductions, and the recent that caught international attention and trauma was 2014’s Chibok incident when 276 high school girls were kidnapped.
