Titalls drept i angrep i Nigeria

NRK24 October 2026, 21:28 UTCNigeria

Væpnede menn gikk lørdag til angrep mot landsbyen Binnari i den nordøstlige delstaten Taraba i Nigeria, melder nyhetsbyrået AFP. Angrepet skal ha skjedd kort tid etter fredagsbønnen. Minst 20 mennesker ble drept, anslår overlevende som AFP har snakket med. Ifølge menneskerettighetsorganisasjonen Amnesty International er det snakk om minst 40 drepte. Det nordøstlige Nigeria er preget av et langvarige jihadistopprør, men Taraba, som ligger lenger inn mot midten av landet, er også rammet av ikke-ideologiske bander.
