That this House notes with extreme concern reports of recent widespread jihadist-driven attacks in Nigeria, including the coordinated targeting of at least six predominantly Christian villages in the Danko Wasagu local government area of Kebbi State between 8 and 15 May 2025: further notes that the communities of Waje, Tsalon Damisa, Dajin Maikyasuwa, Dajin Kanya, Gaya, and Rimau were attacked, resulting in the deaths of more than 60 individuals; and calls on His Majesty's Government and Nigerian authorities to take more effective action to protect vulnerable communities and to bring to justice those responsible.
