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.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
