Death toll from attack by gunmen in northeastern Nigeria rises to 62

At least 62 people were killed in a Friday attack by gunmen on the remote village of Binnari in northeastern Nigeria’s Taraba State. Ladan Ayuba, head of the state’s National Emergency Management Agency, said thousands of people had been displaced. Amnesty International Nigeria said the attackers burned homes, shops, food supplies and motorcycles, while police warned the death toll could rise further. The rights group said authorities had failed to adequately protect rural communities and called for an impartial investigation and reparations for survivors.
