At approximately 1 am, a group of Bandits breached the perimeter fence of the Permanent Site of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) in Afaka, Kaduna State, wearing Nigerian Army uniforms to avoid suspicion. The attackers, who arrived in a single vehicle, drove unchallenged past the main security gate, passing through areas equipped with CCTV cameras. After entering, they ransacked about five flats in the officers' quarters, engaged in sporadic shooting, and killed two senior military officers. They also abducted another officer, Major Christopher Datong, forcing him through the nearby bush. The third officer taken (a lieutenant) was killed by the Bandits. Four other officers were injured during the attack. The gunmen escaped before the NDA Quick Response Team could arrive at the scene.

In a sustained overnight assault, a large group of heavily armed gunmen stormed the village of Karshin Daji. The attackers targeted residential homes and church-affiliated buildings, utilizing a combination of high-caliber firearms and arson. Among the victims were two prominent local religious leaders (Pastors) and their families. Survivors reported that the attackers intentionally blocked escape routes to maximize the death toll before retreating into the neighboring hills as the sun rose.
