The state’s police spokesman Wasiu Abiodun told CNN in a statement that operatives arrested 11 armed “hoodlums” who set fire to a government building after looting it. Activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju told CNN Thursday that there were counter-demonstrations by pro-government protesters who arrived in buses accompanied by a security vehicle. “In the northern part of Nigeria, the largest part of our country … the primary cause of hunger is insecurity. He added that Nigerians were also pained watching their leaders live in luxury while they struggled to make ends meet. Analysts told CNN at the time it was “hypocrisy” for the government to spend on luxuries while impoverished citizens suffer hardship.

Jan 15 (Reuters) - Gunmen burned a Catholic priest to death and shot and injured his colleague in northwest Nigeria on Sunday, police said, the latest violence raising concerns about security ahead of an election next month. The motive for the latest attack was not immediately clear but gunmen have previously targeted priests in the largely Muslim north. For a priest to be killed in such a manner means that we are not all safe. These terrorists have lost it, and drastic action is needed to end this ongoing carnage," said Niger state governor Sani Bello.

În şcoala coranică Salihu Tanko se aflau aproximativ 200 de copii la momentul atacului, însă mai mulţi au reuşit să fugă, a anunţat un diriginte, sub protecţia anonimatului. Guvernul a anunţat în alt comunicat, pe Twitter, că guvernatorul Sani Bello le-a ordonat ”agenţiilor însărcinate cusecuritatea să aducă înapoi copii cât mai rapid posibil”. Această nouă răpire intervine la o zi după eliberarea a 14 elevi în statul Kaduna (nord), după 40 de zile de captivitate. În total, 730 de copii şi adolescenţi au fost răpiţi începând din decembrie 2020.
