insurgency

Nigerian citizens and security officials are pushing for increased American airstrikes against terrorist groups, while authorities dismantle illegal arms factories and impose security restrictions across multiple states battling persistent insurgency.

Coordinated terrorist attacks across Kebbi and Adamawa states have claimed at least 35 lives in recent days, with jihadist groups and Lakurawa militants targeting mosques and communities in a surge of violence that underscores the persistent security crisis in Nigeria's northern region.

Northern Nigeria's security crisis deepens as suspected Lakurawa militants kill 33 people in Kebbi State, while separate terrorist groups demand N100 million ransom from vulnerable communities.
