Gunmen kill at least 10 villagers and loot shops in northeast Nigeria

Gunmen attacked the village of Binnari in the Karim Lamido area of Taraba State, northeast Nigeria, on Friday. Police recovered 10 bodies with gunshot wounds, but witnesses reported at least 20 deaths and an NGO suggested the toll could be as high as 50. The attackers arrived on motorcycles after midday prayers, looted shops for cash and food, took motorcycles and set houses ablaze. Police are searching the surrounding bush for further casualties, while Amnesty International accused authorities of failing to protect rural communities.
