A new terror group known as Mahmuda has reportedly emerged in the North Central region of Nigeria, according to Eons Intelligence.
Gatekeepers News reports that Mahmuda is said to be terrorising rural communities around the Kainji Lake National Park (KLNP), which spans parts of Kwara and Niger States.
The group reportedly carries out attacks at will across communities in Kaiama LGA (including Kemaanji, Tenebo, Baabete, Nuku, and Nanu) and in Yashikira District of Baruten LGA, both in Kwara State. They have also taken control of areas within Babana and Wawa Districts of Borgu LGA in Niger State.
On Wednesday, the group reportedly attacked a vigilante group in Kemanji, resulting in the death of over 15 vigilantes and villagers.
According to local accounts, the group, led by a figure issuing threats via voice notes, is involved in killings, kidnappings, and ransom demands.
