Gunmen from a suspected criminal gang attacked a village market in northwest Nigeria’s Sokoto state, killing 43 people.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that the state government said Monday.

Heavily armed gangs known locally as bandits have terrorized northwest and central Nigeria for years, raiding and looting villages, but attacks have become even more violent in recent months.

“Forty-three people have been confirmed dead following the attack by bandits in Goronyo village” on Sunday, Sokoto government spokesman Muhammad Bello said in a statement.
