The government of Niger Republic has confirmed the deaths of 44 civilians in a terrorist attack on Fambita village in the Tillabéri region.


The government attributed the assault to militants of the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara, ISGS.

Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert focused on the Lake Chad region, disclosed this in a post on his X handle.


DAILY POST earlier reported that at least 44 civilians were killed in a brutal attack by militants from the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara, ISGS, in Fambita, a village in Niger’s volatile Tillabéri region.

According to a statement from the Ministry of Interior, the attack occurred on Friday while Muslim worshippers were observing prayers during the holy month of Ramadan.

The assailants, heavily armed, surrounded the mosque before launching their assault.


“These terrorists, in an act of extreme cruelty, massacred innocent civilians at prayer before systematically setting fire to the market and homes during their retreat,” the statement, broadcast on national television, said.

The attack also left 13 people injured, including four in critical condition. In response to the tragedy, the government has declared a 72-hour national mourning period from Saturday, 23rd March, during which flags will be flown half-mast across the country.

The Minister of State and Acting Minister of the Interior, Army Corps General Salifou Modi, strongly condemned the attack, calling it a “heinous act committed on a Friday, the holy day of Islam, in the last ten days of the blessed month of Ramadan.”


He further stated that the attack demonstrated that “terrorists and their ers do not uphold any religious ideals.”

The government has vowed that “these heinous crimes will not go unpunished,” pledging to track down the perpetrators, their sponsors, and their accomplices to bring them to justice.

The massacre comes just two days after the Nigerien military carried out an air-to-ground raid targeting suspected EIGS militants at the Kiral gold mining site in the same region.


The operation reportedly resulted in the deaths of 45 suspected terrorists, according to an official statement.

Too bad, RIP to the dead.

This was what some obidients wanted for Nigeria when the military took over in Niger. Thank God Nigerians did not listen to them. They have consistently been found to make wrong judgement calls on many national issues. That's why it is not good to act as a mob, especially one based on tribal sentiments instead of merit.

Military country don collect

For some Nigeria Christians who like to believe that terrorists are working for Islam. Imagine RCCG going to surround a living faith congregation on a Sunday while service is holding, killing everyone in the church. Would you consider Rccg as part of your religion again?

Any terrorist who goes about killing people, Muslim or not, we curse them. Allah cursed them.
They are not part of us and they will never be.

Alhamdulillah. Thousands of Muslim youths have taken up arms against those miserable terrorists in Borno, Katsina, Zamfara....Muslims in Nigeria don't just condemn terrorists, we fight them with our lives.

How many people dey the country sef wey 44 people dey die. How many of dem go con remain

Real countries are mourning their dead thousands die in Nigeria and we just move on like nothing happened very wicked country .

44 died and the government is declaring 3days of mourning... In Nigeria thousands died and the government throw deaf ears. The only care about embezzling, syphoning and preaching about ethnicity n religion. Shame on them and their ers

But the useless general that illegally took over claimed he took over power because the terrorists have a upper hand, while is he still struggling against the terrorists after more than a year he took over power? I thought the idiot would have crushed the terrorists by now

But Islam allows it and that's why things like this is common among Islamic countries. You claim your religion is the religion of peace but you never preach or practice peace

With unending long list of Islamic terrorists fighting almost individual country of the world, there is no way you can prove they are not Muslims. Terrorists are mostly mature men who can identify where they belong and whom they are working for, you don't need to speak for them because they are not babies. Out of plenty religions worldwide, why did they choose to identify themselves as Muslims and even calling themselves "soldiers of Allah"? Despite christians population are more than Muslims worldwide, why has none of these officially recorded long list of recognized terrorists worldwide not mistakenly called themselves christians or Hindus or even pagans? Why have they all choosen to be guided by Quran and shout Allah akbar before beheading and killing their innocent victims?

They bring quotation from Qurans from time to time to that they are even more Muslims than the peace-loving claiming Muslims whom they sometimes see as lazy Muslims. This forms the reason they kill some Muslims and burn mosques too because they sometimes see them as infidels that sometimes compromise with other unbelievers to expose them to government backed security agencies.

If Islamic terrorists are one or two groups, you can even attempt at covering them; but unfortunately, if you google the official list of worldwide recognized terrorists, they are just too many on long list that identified themselves as Muslims which you can't cover up with lies. They are whom they say they are, you can't change the narrative, most of them will celebrate ending of Ramadan in their bush camps and even post the videos online, but you will never see them celebrating Easter or Christmas because they know whom they are serving. So, they are muslims

Ogbeni abeg stop that Logic, the Fulani heardsmen killing people like suya in the middle belt , in the west and attacking Enugu are Hindu worshippers abi? Why is it so hard to brand the Fulani terrorist for what they are if they are not been encouraged by the state to kill christians.

Lol, but if this happened in your country, the first thing you would have done is to attack Tinubu. Thank goodness, you didn't win the election and you will never win.

Evidence of low IQ. When jihadists killed 22 soldiers in January, why didn't he declare 3 days mourning?. When they killed another 10 soldiers in February, why didn't he declare 3 days of mourning?, when 21 civilians were killed in Dec, last year, why didn't he declare days of mourning?. Are those lives less important?. Because this happened to be Ramadan period. I pity gullible people like you.

stop talking like a foolish fellow. Are obidients the ones pampering bandits and killer herdsmen.

When will Islamic terrorism end ?

So the military dictator can't rally his men against the same menace he vowed to end.
And some disgruntled elements where wishing same on Nigeria thinking leadership is a simple task because of money

terrorism don enter Niger Republic

E don cast. Last last na everybody go chop breakfast 🤒

The failure took over in a coup claiming failure of then democratically elected government to combat terrorism but have failed in multiple fold less than 2 years down the line.

Same way you are now denouncing Tinubus declaration of SoE in Rivers. Meanwhile if it Tinubu had done nothing you would still him when it escalates. Obidients are nothing but clowns. Whoever listens to them to govern Nigeria will fail miserably. Carry go jare, Tinubu.

And security did not respond.
