A series of brutal attacks in Nigeria, particularly in the Kwara and Katsina states, has resulted in the deaths of over 160 people, with reports indicating as many as 200 victims. These attacks, attributed to Boko Haram and other Islamist militants, have led to widespread condemnation and a significant government response. In the wake of the violence, Nigeria has deployed troops and established a new military command aimed at curbing the spread of extremism. Local officials have described horrific scenes, with many victims executed for resisting extremist ideologies. The Nigerian president has ordered military intervention following these tragic incidents, which are considered some of the deadliest in recent months.
