Woro, Nigeria – The stench of charred flesh hung thick in the air, but Umaru Tanko barely seemed to notice. He keeps returning to the same spot – a small, burned-out shop in the centre of Woro in western Nigeria’s state of Kwara.

Tanko looked exhausted, his eyes red and swollen, his voice barely rising above a whisper.
