00:01As Nigeria reels from one of the deadliest attacks the country has seen in recent months,
00:06President Bolotinibu has deployed the army to Kawara State,
00:11where gunmen killed as many as 162 people Tuesday.
00:16The assault targeted Woro village just days after the military launched operations in the area
00:21against suspected terrorist groups.
00:24Gunmen stormed the community in the evening, burning shops and the traditional ruler's palace
00:29as residents fled into nearby bushes.
00:32Casualty figures remain unclear, with officials giving conflicting tolls.
00:36Local authorities say the number of dead has continued to rise as search teams recover more bodies in surrounding areas.
00:43No group has claimed responsibility, but the state government has blamed terrorist cells,
00:48while President Tenubu has pointed to Boko Haram jihadists.
00:52The violence comes amid an intensified military campaign across Nigeria,
00:56where armed gangs, jihadist groups and intercommunal clashes continue to destabilise large parts of the country.
01:03As insecurity worsens, curfews have now been imposed in parts of Kawara State.
