CLEAN : In Nigeria bandit violence leaves thousands dead and injured

In April, heavily armed men attacked Abu Bakar's village in central Nigeria, resulting in a massacre. Survivors recount the horror, with over 100 people killed in multiple villages. The violence stems from conflicts between Fulani herders and farmers, exacerbated by arms trafficking. The Nigerian army's efforts to combat these gangs are hindered by underfunding and lack of equipment. Criticism mounts as authorities struggle to contain the violence, leading to mass displacement. An NGO reports that bandit militias killed over 2600 civilians last year, surpassing the jihadist conflict in the northeast.
