Suspected bandits, who are Lakurawa terrorists, stormed five villages in Kebbi State’s Arewa Local Government Area at the same time, killing at least ten people and injuring a number of others.
Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert who specializes in the Lake Chad area, revealed this on Monday in a post on his X account.
Makama also added that intelligence sources had informed him that the villages that were hit by the attacks included Birnin Debi, Garin Nagoro, Yar Goru, Dan Marke, and Tambo.
The report says that the terrorists stormed the communities around 8:48 p.m. on March 9, 2025, burning down houses and shooting randomly.
Garba Maigari (50) was among the dead, and the other nine victims’ names are not known.
“Several injured victims have been taken to Federal Medical Centre, Birnin Kebbi, for treatment, while the corpses of the deceased have been deposited for autopsy.
“In response, the Nigerian troops, Police and local vigilantes have been deployed to the affected areas, and normalcy has reportedly been restored,” Makama said.
