Tragic Attack on Katsina Mosque During Morning Prayers Claims 27 Lives
A shocking attack struck a mosque in Unguwan Mantau, Katsina State, on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, during morning prayers, leaving at least 27 worshippers dead and several others injured. The gunmen opened fire around dawn as the faithful gathered for Fajr prayers, before fleeing the scene.
The incident has heightened fears about security in the region, which has been struggling with violence linked to clashes between local farmers and herders over land and resources. Officials suspect the attack may have been retaliation following a recent confrontation between townspeople and armed men in the area.
In response, the Katsina State government has deployed both police and military forces to Unguwan Mantau to prevent further attacks. State authorities warned that bandits often hide among crops during the rainy season to launch assaults on communities, making security patrols essential.
