MAKURDI, Nigeria (AP) — More than 100 people have been killed in Nigeria’s troubled northern region, survivors told The Associated Press, as authorities continue to search for bodies and for suspects of the three-day violence. “They killed more than 100 people,” Ahmed said, adding that as many as nine communities were affected in the incident. Resident Aliyu Anka, in Anka, also confirmed that the casualty figure was more than 100. Ibrahim Dosara, Zamfara commissioner for information, told AP they were awaiting more information about the incident including the number of casualties. “We don’t have adequate security in Zamfara state but (in) some areas, we don’t have security at all,” said Yusuf Ibrahim in Gusau, the state capital.
