Dozens have been killed in another deadly attack on civilians in Nigeria, after gunmen known locally as bandits stormed a village market, burning stalls and firing indiscriminately. Locals say women and children were not spared, with many abducted during the assault. Nigerian authorities confirm at least 30 deaths, as outrage and grief spread through the community. President Bola Tinubu says search and rescue operations are underway amid growing national and international pressure to improve security. The violence has also drawn attention from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who ordered U.S. military strikes in Nigeria, citing the targeting and killing of Christians. The attacks continue, leaving communities living in fear.
