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.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
