Rising death toll, abductions, displacement in north show Nigerian authorities have failed - Amnesty

Amnesty International condemned the failure of Nigerian authorities to protect residents following renewed attacks by gunmen in Isa and Sabon Birni local government areas of Sokoto State. Several villages were attacked, leading to displacement, abductions, and reports of missing persons. The organization noted that the rising cases of killings and mass displacement reflect the increasing insecurity in northern Nigeria.
