Dozens are feared dead after suspected Boko Haram terrorists carried out attacks on several rural communities in the Arewa Local Government Area on Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to local and security sources, the gunmen stormed villages in the remote border district, opening fire on residents in what survivors described as highly organised and indiscriminate assaults.<\/p>\n

Breakdowns from security sources indicate that 16 people were killed in Mamunu, five in Awashaka, three in Masama, while two people each lost their lives in five other affected villages.<\/p>\n

The attacks triggered panic, forcing many residents to flee their homes as the assailants stormed homes and shot at civilians.<\/p>\n

Security operatives have since been deployed to the area to secure the communities, assist survivors, and block possible escape routes for the attackers. Tracking operations are also ongoing.<\/p>\n

Confirming the incident, the Kebbi State Police Public Relations Officer, Bashir Usman, said further details would be provided as investigations continue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
