In a tragic incident, at least 30 people lost their lives in coordinated attacks on four mosques in Niger State, Niger, during Friday's Juma'at prayers. The coordinated terror attack targeted the Dekara, Kpenya, Sabon-Gida, and Gidan-Zana communities, abducting numerous worshippers.

Local leaders urge authorities to intensify security operations, while displaced individuals call for assistance in rebuilding their lives.
