Militant Violence Claims 23 Lives in Nigeria
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Suspected Islamist militants slaughtered at least 23 farmers and fishermen in a brutal Thursday morning assault on Malam Karanti village in Nigeria’s volatile Borno State, according to multiple security sources and local witnesses.

This is the latest violence in Nigeria’s protracted Islamist insurgency, with both Boko Haram and its splinter group Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) active in the region.

Eyewitness Sani Auwal described how militants rounded up villagers, predominantly bean farmers, before executing 23 people in cold blood. The assailants spared one elderly man who raised the alarm, while another resident Usman Ali reported failed attempts to retrieve victims’ bodies due to continued militant presence.

The Nigerian army has yet to comment on the assault, which occurred in an area where Boko Haram violence has resurged despite previous security gains.

Militant Violence Claims 23 Lives in Nigeria
Why It Matters

The massacre confirms Borno State Governor’s recent warnings about renewed Islamist militant activity reversing counterinsurgency progress. For over a decade, Nigeria’s northeast has endured relentless attacks by Boko Haram terrorists and ISWAP fighters, with farming communities increasingly targeted to disrupt food supplies and terrorize rural populations. Thursday’s violence is in line with the militant pattern of militant abductions and executions designed to undermine government authority in remote regions.
