Over 1,100 Villagers Killed By Bandits In Northern Nigeria In 2020
Human rights watchdog group, Amnesty International published a report on Monday, August 24 which claims that at least 1,126 people in rural villages in northern Nigeria were killed by bandits between January and July 2020.
The report also accused Nigerian authorities of leaving rural communities at the mercy of the gunmen.
The region has for months been terrorized by bandits who invade communities to abduct for ransom, and kill residents, while also destroying property.
