Heartbreaking scenes in Niger State—over 30 slaughtered at a village market, homes torched, kids snatched—now the UN’s screaming for shields around civilians and classrooms before it’s too late.
UN Resident Coordinator Mohamed Fall slammed the January 3 bloodbath in Kasuwan Daji, Borgu LGA, plus fresh horrors in Agwara, Kwara, and Ondo, calling them blatant human rights violations targeting life, women, children, and education itself.
Assailants hit Kasuwan Daji market hard, killing dozens and abducting others while flames devoured stalls and houses. Agwara echoes November’s nightmare—300 kids freed after St. Mary’s School siege—yet violence rages unchecked.
Fall offered condolences, demanded abductee releases, perpetrator justice, and ironclad school protections under the Safe Schools Declaration. UN stands ready to partner with Nigeria for safer streets and learning.
