Terrorists Attack Kasuwa Daji Market in Niger State, Kill Over 40, Kidnap Women and Children
Terrorists have carried out a deadly attack on Kasuwa Daji market along the Sokobara–Tunga Demo axis in Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State, killing more than 40 people and abducting an unknown number of women and children. The assault occurred on Saturday during market activities, plunging the rural community into chaos and fear.
Eyewitnesses described the attackers as rounding up victims, shooting some on the spot, tying others, and slaughtering them. Shops and nearby villages were set on fire, with thick smoke visible from neighbouring communities. Dozens of bodies were reportedly scattered around the market and surrounding areas, with more being discovered near bushes and water sources.
Residents accused Nigerian security forces of failing to respond during and immediately after the massacre. Many locals have fled their homes, while those remaining are traumatised and uncertain about the fate of missing relatives. Community leaders are appealing urgently to the government for security deployment, humanitarian assistance, and intervention to prevent further attacks.
The massacre underscores the continuing insecurity in rural Niger State and highlights persistent gaps in local protection against terrorist violence.
