Several residents were k!lled during Taraweeh prayers after they were attacked by suspected Lakurawa armed group in Dadin-Kowa community in Maiyama Local Government Area of Kebbi State
Security analyst and crisis journalist, Bakatsine, disclosed this via his X handle on Thursday, February 26.
According to the report, the attackers stormed the community on Wednesday night, February 25, and targeted worshippers observing prayers in a mosque.
The incident was said to have resulted in multiple fatalities, with several others sustaining injuries.
The mosque was also reportedly desecrated during the attack.
Photos from the scene show blood stained prayer rugs following the attack.
Bakatsine described the development as a grim reminder of the persistent insecurity in parts of northern Nigeria, noting that the attack occurred during the holy month of Ramadan.
He questioned how individuals who kill innocent worshippers inside a mosque during Ramadan could claim to represent Islam, stating that such actions only tarnish the image of the religion and fuel hostility against the faith.
