Nigeria Village Attacked, 170 Killed by Armed Militants | WPN World People News

According to media reports, multiple terrorist attacks occurred on the 3rd in villages in central Nigeria. Armed militants stormed the villages, setting fire to homes and shops and carrying out execution-style killings of local residents by binding their hands. The attacks resulted in a total of 170 deaths. Security forces are currently searching for survivors and pursuing the perpetrators.

The reports state that the incidents took place in the Woro and Nuku communities in Kwara State, central Nigeria. Local lawmaker Saidu Baba Ahmed said the militants looted the villages and forcibly gathered residents, demanding that they renounce their loyalty to the state and instead accept the extremist group’s imposition of Sharia law. When villagers resisted, the attackers launched a massacre.

The reports also noted that, according to estimates by the Red Cross, the death toll exceeds 170. Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq issued a statement strongly condemning the attacks, describing them as retaliation by extremist groups against recent military crackdown operations. Local officials added that the militants had assured villagers five months earlier that they would not carry out any attacks, but ultimately violated that agreement.
