Stories from Maiduguri · Nigeria

At least 18 timber workers were killed in an attack by Boko Haram militants in Borno Province, northern Nigeria. The attack occurred as the security situation in the region continues to deteriorate, leading to the displacement of local residents due to a lack of humanitarian aid.

Armed men reportedly opened fire on spectators at a football pitch in northeast Nigeria. The attackers then allegedly set fire to the area. No specific casualty counts or names of the attackers were provided in the report.
