A communal clash in Gurfata, Gwagwalada LGA, Abuja (FCT), left one person killed and 31 houses destroyed.
A violent civilian protest erupted in Kano after a commercial motorcyclist, Mustapha Sani, was shot dead by soldiers at a military checkpoint outside a bus terminus. The soldiers alleged that the rider had failed to stop for a routine search. In response, around 100 protesters, primarily commercial motorcyclists and local youths, took over the Silver Jubilee Roundabout (also known as Jubilee Square) in the city centre. The mob marched through the streets, burned tyres, and pelted soldiers with stones, demanding the dismantling of all military checkpoints in the city. The soldiers on duty drove away in two military vans to avoid further clashes, making no attempt to stop the protesters.
An improvised explosive device (IED) was detonated at the All Christian Fellowship Mission church in Suleja, Niger. The blast occurred at approximately 2:00 pm local time, just as worshippers were leaving the Sunday service and a church committee meeting was underway inside the building. A neighbour reported that a bomb was thrown into the church from a passing motorcycle, causing the explosion. The explosion shattered windows and damaged a neighbouring house. Three people were killed, and at least seven others were injured. No group claimed responsibility for the attack, but it was widely attributed to Boko Haram.
