According to the Vietnam News Agency correspondent in Africa, the above source said the attack happened in Agban Kagoro in the Kaura area of ​​Kaduna state on the morning of March 20. This incident sparked violent protests across Nigeria on March 21. Some protesters blocked roads and carried out radical acts, forcing the Kaduna state government to impose a 24-hour curfew in the Kaura and Jema’a areas.

Nigerian officials said imposing a curfew would allow security services to protect people’s lives and property and restore order in these areas. The Kaduna state government called on people in the Kaura and Jema’a areas to coordinate with security agencies in carrying out emergency missions to restore order.

Over the years, the northwest and central regions of Nigeria have been hit by attacks by armed gangs that loot villages, steal livestock and kidnap for ransom. Recently, despite the army’s efforts to raid the base of these gangs in the forest, the attacks continued. Earlier this year, the Nigerian government officially declared the gunmen belonging to these gangs as terrorists.
