Reprisal attack on Katsina mosque leaves 50 dead
Gunmen attacked worshippers at a mosque in Unguwan Mantau village, Malumfashi Local Government Area of Katsina State, in August 2025, killing at least 50 people and abducting dozens. The incident occurred during morning prayers as a possible reprisal for an earlier ambush on bandits. Local authorities have reaffirmed support for community security initiatives amid rising banditry in north-western Nigeria.
