On 3 June 2021, an armed group attacked eight villages in Kebbi State, northwestern Nigeria, killing at least 90 people. The attack began at 3pm; the bandits, who rode motorcycles, attacked Koro, Kimpi, Gaya, Dimi, Zutu, Rafin Gora and Iguenge villages.[1][2] The gunmen, from neighbouring Nigerian states Niger and Zamfara, also stole cattle and destroyed crops.[1][3][4]
