At Least 20 Killed in Village Attack in Northeastern Nigeria, Survivors Say

At least 20 people were killed when gunmen attacked a village in Nigeria’s northeastern Taraba state, according to accounts given by survivors on Saturday.

Police reported a lower confirmed toll, saying 10 bodies had been found by Friday evening.

The figures reflect different accounts of the casualties, with survivors reporting deaths beyond the number of bodies police said had been recovered.

The available information did not identify the attackers or establish a motive for the assault. The final death toll remained unclear.
