Malik Samuel, a senior researcher at Good Governance Africa, joins Al Jazeera live from Abuja. He says the deadly attack on Muguru community in north-central Nigeria was likely carried out by a Boko Haram faction, not bandits, based on the group’s known tactics and local testimonies. Samuel adds that the attack highlights a broader failure by Nigerian authorities to protect remote communities, blaming slow security responses, poor infrastructure, and a lack of proactive action against armed groups.
