Unidentified gunmen reportedly killed at least seven people during an attack on Okele-Ejule in Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State on Saturday. The attackers, dressed in military camouflage, stormed the community around 5 p.m., opening fire indiscriminately, which led to several fatalities and caused residents to flee for safety, according to Daily Trust.

Residents of Shauri Yako in Homa Bay have expressed concerns about the Rock Boys gang, which reportedly disrupts the area at night. During the day, the neighborhood appears busy with vendors selling snacks and boda boda riders transporting students and workers. However, as night falls, the situation changes dramatically, with the gang allegedly emerging to rob, attack, and intimidate people returning home.

One person was killed and another seriously injured in an attack by suspected armed herders in the Tse Orhungul settlement near Yogbo, located in the Guma Local Government Area of Benue State. The incident occurred on Tuesday evening, causing tension in the community, according to Vanguard.
