A gang of heavily armed Bandits stormed Kokodo village, a boundary town between Edu and Patigi LGAs in the Kwara North senatorial district. The attackers specifically targeted a group of local hunters who attempted to fend them off. Three hunters were killed instantly in the gunfight, while a fourth victim later succumbed to severe gunshot wounds. Two women, Salmanu Umar and Aishat Kokoma, were abducted. The gunmen fled the scene after the raid, dragging the victims into the surrounding bush.
A large convoy of Boko Haram insurgents stormed the Ashaka Cement factory (a subsidiary of the French group Lafarge) in Gombe State. Unlike previous urban attacks, this was a highly organized industrial raid. The gunmen overran the facility's security, specifically targeting the explosives magazine. They looted a massive quantity of dynamite and detonators—primarily used for limestone blasting—before retreating.
