At least 34 people have been killed in a fresh wave of violent attacks across northern Nigeria, with security sources confirming the emergence of a dangerous new terror group. The coordinated assaults, which targeted rural communities in Plateau and Kaduna states, mark a disturbing escalation in the country’s security challenges.
Eyewitnesses report that heavily armed militants stormed villages overnight, burning homes and shooting fleeing residents. Local officials confirm women and children are among the victims, with dozens more injured and displaced.
Security analysts warn this new faction appears more sophisticated than existing insurgent groups, utilizing military-grade weapons and tactical maneuvers. The attacks come despite increased military operations in the region, raising urgent questions about the effectiveness of current security strategies.
President Tinubu has condemned the violence, ordering immediate investigations, but residents accuse the government of failing to protect vulnerable communities. Humanitarian organizations are scrambling to provide emergency aid as the death toll continues to rise.
