At least 13 vigilante members were killed when Gunmen who are thought to be Lakurawa terrorists attacked Morai village in the Augie Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
After being informed of an imminent attack, a local official, identified as Alhaji Augie, reported to Channels Television that the vigilantes had taken cover in nearby shrubs. The attackers attempted to rustle a herd of cattle, he claimed, when they arrived.
The vigilantes then launched an ambush to avenge the cattle and fend off the attackers.

He described the Sunday incident as “unfortunately” because they had not realized the terrorists had already surrounded them.
“At least 13 of the attackers opened fire, killing at least 13 of them instantly as the vigilantes moved to stop.” About three kilometers away from ours is the village where the attack took place.
Six bodies have been found, and others have been administered Islamic funeral rites, while the search is still being conducted for the dead.
The Federal Government is determined to find a lasting solution to Plateau State’s ongoing attacks and killings, according to National Security Advisor (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu.
Ribadu made a promise to put an end to the killings while speaking at the state’s Bokkos Local Government Area LGA headquarters in Jos during an operational visit.
In attacks on five communities that left over three hundred houses burned by suspected herdsmen in a week, over fifty people were killed.
The Plateau State Government also made an official visit to some of the affected communities in the form of Samuel Jatau, the governor’s secretary, to find out the extent of the damage and provide relief supplies to the victims.
Adu emphasized the urgency of the Federal Government to stop the ongoing homicides and attacks.
The District Head of Manguna also wants the government to hire more security personnel in the affected areas to stop rural-urban migration in response to the killings.

Yohanna Michael, a member of the Hurti community in the area, described how, despite the fact that the search for the missing is still ongoing, over thirty people were interred in a community grave.
More than 700 people were displaced from their ancestral homes, and the government needs to intervene and send more security personnel there to help them return to their homes and continue farming.
FG Is Advised To Step In, ACF Requests.
The recent frightful attacks in the North-Central State have sparked the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF)’s outcry.
The socio-political group demanded that the federal government intervene and put an end to the Plateau killings in a statement released on Sunday.

The only drawback to these Mystery Bundles is that you don’t know what will be inside, which could result in an unwelcome product.

Tanya Oxtoby, the manager of Northern Ireland, describes Laura Rafferty as “integral” to their continued growth as she wraps up 50 caps.
Rafferty, a Rangers defender, will be eligible for the milestone if she plays on Friday night in Croatia’s opening Euro 2025 play-off game.
And Oxtoby heaped praise on the 28-year-old, who has also captained her country on numerous occasions recently.
“I always say about Raff, you know exactly what you’re going to get, she’s fully committed, gives 100% to the group and as a coach that is all you can ask for”, Oxtoby told BBC Sport NI.
We have a lot of tactical flexibility, they claim.

The Northern Ireland squad has undergone a number of changes since Bosnia-Herzegovina’s final Euro 2025 qualifier in July.
Former captain Marissa Callaghan and Glentoran’s Demi Vance are two high-profile omissions, with the likes of Joely Andrews, Nadene Caldwell, Caragh Hamilton and Kerry Beattie ruled out through injury.
Oxtoby reiterated that “the door will remain open” for their return despite the numerous adjustments, but believes the squad has enough experience and quality to overcome Croatia.
“Those conversations]on the absences] will remain private between myself and the players as I think that is respectful, they have been given feedback like every player does”, Oxtoby explained.
“We feel we have a great squad composition, we have a lot of tactically flexibility, so I feel like we’re in a really good place”.
After impressing for her club, Nat Johnson, Nottingham Forest defender, was pleased to join Oxtoby’s first squad since making her debut at Euro 2022.
“She’s fitted in really with this group, brought a lot of positive energy and really wants to be a sponge”, the manager added.
Magill “exemplifies” the leadership qualities that NI desire.
Press Eye
Oxtoby also believes that new captain Simone Magill “epitomises” qualities she wants in an on-field leader.
Marissa Callaghan, who left the position in May, took over as Northern Ireland’s captain on Monday.
Simone epitomizes the qualities and traits we sought in our leadership team, according to Simone.
No matter who wears the armband, we have a great group of leaders in this group and we’re continuing to develop them, according to the players, who were a part of a really diligent process.
Northern Ireland will face the winner of the tie between Norway and Albania in Switzerland’s European Championships if they advance past Croatia.
Due to the absence of the Women’s Premiership players, the play-off will take place in December, which opens a new ambiguous window for Oxtoby.
The manager is happy to have a season window open for players from Northern Ireland and England and Scotland and for those who have just finished their studies.
“We’re going to be back in that difficult position in the next window, but we’re in a good position in this one.”
Coco Gauff, the fourth seed, defeated Paula Badosa in the first China Open final after going set and break.
The 20-year-old American dug deep to come through 4-6 6-4 6-2.
Spaniard Badosa served with a 4-3 lead in the second set, which was a 19th-ranked player but a former world number two.
However, Gauff eventually won the game in two hours and 21 minutes by breaking and rattled off the next four games to set up a decider.
Badosa, who was in the top 140th place in the world rankings in May, had a strong start to the semi-finals in Beijing, winning over Jessica Pegula, the second seed, and Jessica Pegula, the finalist.
And she took advantage of Gauff’s inconsistencies, particularly on her serve which produced 11 double faults, to win the opening set and break in the first game of the second.
After resuming her relationship with Brad Gilbert last month and avoiding contention for the US Open in the fourth round, Gauff is now working with new coach Matt Daly.
The American gained momentum as Badosa recovered with her composure after she dropped her first set of the week after saving four break points to avoid falling to 4-1 in the second set.
In the final match, Gauff broke three times to claim the victory as she competes for Auckland’s only title of the year so far in January.
Morrissey’s recent accusations weren’t something Johnny Marr was willing to let go of.
And the guitarist, 60, has moved to try to set the record straight, from his perspective at least. Morrissey, 65, had claimed Marr had successfully applied or 100 per cent of the trademark on the name of their band, The Smiths. The singer also criticized Marr for refusing to negotiate for the naming rights at a rumored reunion, before claiming that the band had turned down an invitation to go on tour once more.
This also means that Marr can now tour as The Smiths while Morrissey can use the singer of his choice, Morrissey had claimed, and it also prevents Morrissey from using the name while also denying him a significant financial support.
Johnny Marr has hit back at Morrissey’s claims
However, Marr was quick to shut down the claims and said they simply weren’t true. Marr wrote in a statement of his own that “Morrissey’s recent statements regarding the Smiths’ name trademark are incorrect.” Marr claimed Morrissey had refused to share their trademark after discovering the band didn’t own it, and the statement continued to include “facts.”
Marr added: “To prevent third parties from profiting from the band’s name, it was left to me to protect the legacy. This was done for both my former bandmates and myself. As for the offer to tour, I didn’t ignore the offer – I said no”. The guitar guru also blasted rumors that he would be performing with a different singer as “not true,” adding: “There are no such plans.”
More than three decades after the band’s bitter split in 1987, the band’s latest back-and-forth is. At the time, the pair’s strained relationship was given as part of the reason behind the band’s fracture. In 2022, Marr claimed there was “zero chance” he’d ever work with Morrissey again, telling BBC Radio 2’s Steve Wright that he hadn’t spoken to Morrissey in person in “18 or maybe 15 years”.
