At least 32 people were killed in simultaneous attacks on three communities in Nigeria's north-central region, police reported Saturday.
The affected areas, Tunga-Makeri, Konkoso, and Pissa in Borgu, Niger State, experienced dawn raids that left several dead and many abducted, according to local sources.
Nigeria's ongoing security crisis has drawn US intervention, amid concerns over the government's ability to protect its citizens from both militant and armed gang threats.
