Gunmen Kill Nine Nigerian Troops in Kebbi State Attack
Armed gunmen killed nine Nigerian soldiers and wounded several others in an attack in the northwestern state of Kebbi, according to security sources and local officials speaking on Wednesday. The state has seen a surge in banditry and armed group activity in recent months.
Kebbi borders Niger State and Zamfara, two of Nigeria's most violence-affected northwestern states, where criminal armed groups have carried out repeated assaults on military and civilian targets.
