Armed gangs killed over 30 people and kidnapped others in a raid in Kasuwan Daji village, Niger State, Nigeria, setting a market ablaze and looting shops. This attack occurred in the same state where hundreds of schoolchildren were abducted late last year.

• Over 30 victims lost their lives, and several others were kidnapped in the raid on Saturday.
• President Bola Tinubu's office suggested the attackers might be "terrorists" fleeing northwestern Nigeria after U.S. airstrikes targeting Islamic State-linked militants.
• The attack took place less than 20 kilometres from Papiri village, where more than 250 students and staff were seized from a Catholic school in November.
