Overview
- Gunmen on motorcycles struck Tunga-Makeri, Konkoso and Pissa in Borgu at dawn, torching homes and police stations and killing dozens.
- Police confirmed six deaths in Tunga-Makeri and reported abductions with no firm count, while residents said roughly 26 were killed in Konkoso.
- An AFP-cited humanitarian source reported a higher toll of 38 in Konkoso and described victims shot or with throats slit, a figure not confirmed by officials.
- Witnesses described attackers riding in large convoys of motorbikes and said military aircraft were heard overhead as joint security teams moved in.
- The raids reflect a wider northern Nigeria security crisis involving armed 'bandits' and jihadist affiliates, following a larger massacre in neighboring Kwara and alongside stepped-up U.S.–Nigeria security cooperation including December airstrikes.
