Amnesty Int'l Condemns Fresh Terrorists Attack In Kwara, Demands Immediate Rescue Of Abducted Residents

Amnesty International demands rescue of abducted Kwara residents

Amnesty International urged Nigerian authorities to rescue 10 abducted residents — including members of the Emir's household — after gunmen staged a coordinated 2 a.m. attack on Yashikira community in Kwara State, burning part of the royal palace. The incident, the second in 24 hours in Kwara, signals a deteriorating security pattern in northern Nigeria that is exposing rural communities to systematic armed raids with no effective state deterrence in place.
