Nigeria Mosque Attack: Death Toll Rises to 50 | JQJO

At least 50 people were killed in a mosque shooting in northwestern Nigeria's Unguwan Mantau. Gunmen stormed the mosque during morning prayers, with a lawmaker reporting 30 deaths and 20 burnings in related village attacks. The attack is suspected to be retaliation for a prior raid by villagers. Such violence is common in the region due to farmer-herder conflicts over land and water resources, exacerbated by armed groups exploiting weak security. Authorities deployed troops to prevent further attacks.
