A large number of armed Bandits invaded Hunyo/Sabon Wuri village in Dusai Mahoro District, Mariga Local Government Area, Niger, and rustled an unspecified number of cattle. The Bandits, while attempting to escape with the stolen cattle, were intercepted by local hunters between Kakihum and Kumbashi villages. In the ensuing exchange of gunfire, eight hunters lost their lives. Their names and addresses were yet to be ascertained at the time of reporting.
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.
