Global human rights organisation, the Amnesty International has condemned the killing of at least 30 people in a fresh attack by gunmen on Naridon Village in Kamaru Ward of Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, describing the incident as another indication of the Nigerian authorities' failure to protect vulnerable communities. In a statement issued on Monday, the human rights organisation said the attack occurred on Saturday night, alleging that dozens of residents who attempted to flee were chased into nearby bushes and killed by the attackers.

The attack, which occurred on Sunday night, reportedly claimed the lives of women and children and left several houses razed, plunging the community into mourning.

Locals in Kaduna State say that at least 30 people were killed when armed men attacked a village in the area early Monday.
