Armed criminals massacre 18 people in Nigeria

Abuja, Jun 1 (Prensa Latina) Armed criminals on Thursday massacred 18 people including a surveillance chief in the northern Nigerian Zamfara state, security agencies reported.

According to the police officers and witnesses, the incident cropped up in the Maru town, where bandits ambushed a great number of villagers.

In Nigeria, especially in northern areas, the national army has been confronting Islamic extremist groups and criminal gangs for several years, which have unleashed violence in the communities.

Ahead of this complex scenario, the newly appointed Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has pledged to continue fighting off the radical and criminal groups that destabilize this nation.
