  "summary": "Former Kaduna Central senator Shehu Sani has condemned the lack of public outrage following an attack on a mosque in Kaura town, Kaura Namoda Local Government Area, in Zamfara State. According to Daily Post Nigeria, suspected bandits attacked the mosque during early morning Subhi prayers on Sunday, killing one worshipper identified as Nasiru Sani Kaura and abducting several others. The incident was reported on X by the security alert platform Bakatsine.\n\nIn a Facebook post, Sani described the killings as a genocide and questioned why the tragedy has been largely ignored by the public. Premium Times reports that Sani, who is the All Progressives Congress senatorial candidate for Kaduna Central for the 2027 election, expressed outrage over the lack of condemnation. Sani also questioned the religious identity of the attackers and urged Nigerians to view bandits and terrorists as common evils regardless of religious affiliation.",
