Suspected gunmen attacked POS operators in Sodawa community, Ghari LGA, Kano State. Several were killed and others injured.

Suspected Boko Haram gunmen dressed in military fatigues attacked the Fulatari ward of Gamboru Ngala town, Borno State, in the early hours of Wednesday. Around 50 insurgents on motorcycles called residents to come out of their homes under the guise that they had arrested Boko Haram members, but opened fire indiscriminately once victims emerged. At least four civilians were killed (three by gunfire, one strangled when a weapon jammed) and eight others were seriously injured. The attack was a reprisal for the arrest of one of the group’s members the previous week by youth vigilantes (Civilian JTF), who had handed him over to the military.

A large group of heavily armed Boko Haram gunmen launched a coordinated assault on the divisional police station in Jama’are, Bauchi State, and a nearby commercial bank. The attackers used a combination of high‑caliber small arms, improvised explosive devices, and petrol bombs to breach the station‘s defenses. The assailants set the police station on fire and also set the bank ablaze, looting its vault. The assault, which occurred late on Monday night, was characterized by its speed and brutality, aiming to seize weapons and demoralize the local security apparatus.

In a series of coordinated pre-dawn raids, armed Fulani militants attacked at least six villages. The attackers were heavily armed with assault rifles and machetes. They shot men, women, and children indiscriminately, slit throats, and set homes ablaze. In many cases, they removed the private organs of victims.
