Suspected gunmen, believed to be members of the Lakurawa group, shot and killed an unidentified Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) officer stationed at the Fingila checkpoint in Dandi Local Government Area of Kebbi State. Earlier that day, the attackers—numbering about seven and armed with heavy weapons while riding motorcycles—invaded nearby farmlands, harassed farmers, confiscated their food and forced them to eat portions before carting away the rest. They later advanced to the main road, where they found the Customs officer sitting near a mosque and opened fire. The first shot missed, the second struck him as he fled into a maize field, and a third shot proved fatal. Two other Customs officers, who were not in the open at the time, escaped with minor injuries after crawling through the maize field. The deceased officer was believed to be from Maiduguri, Borno State
