Terrible attack in Nigeria: They set the house on fire, causing the death of 12 people!

Maradun Local Government Chairman Sanusi Dosara stated in his statement that armed people attacked a village in the Maradun region of Zamfara.

Dosara noted that the attackers asked those in the house to open the door and set the house on fire after their demands were rejected.

Sharing the information that 12 people from the same family, including women and children, lost their lives, Dosara stated that 7 people were kidnapped in the incident.

The attackers have not yet been identified.

Nigeria has long been facing attacks from armed gangs in various parts of the country, as well as terrorist organizations Boko Haram and ISWAP, the West African branch of ISIS.

Although the penalty for kidnapping is death in the country, kidnappings for ransom are common. Gunmen often target villages, schools and travelers in the north of the country and demand ransom.
