Victims of a deadly attack in Raka Dutse Village, in northern Nigeria, were buried Monday before a huge crowd. Armed men killed at least 30 people in weekend raids on six villages in Nigeria's north, a region regularly hit by criminal violence and clashes between communities, according to local police. "We are calling on the government to help us with effective security," Mohammed Sani, a resident of the area, said. This new attack comes as Nigeria's new president, Bola Tinubu, promised during his inauguration speech to make the fight against insecurity "his top priority."
