Armed men from a local extremist group with links to IS are being blamed for the attack, which, according to a security report seen by AFP, killed over 30 people.

Nigeria is hard-hit by jihadist terrorism, banditry and brutal conflicts between farmers and herders, which claim thousands of lives each year. As recently as last week, at least 45 people were reportedly killed in attacks on villages in Niger State.
