Dinna: Four persons killed and 15 abducted.

Kakafu: Five persons abducted.

Ndanaku: Two individuals abducted along the road.

Gadaworo: One person abducted.

Residents describe a worsening security environment that has disrupted daily activities, particularly farming and local commerce, thereby threatening livelihoods and food security in the area.

Community members have called on relevant authorities and security agencies to take urgent and decisive measures to address the escalating violence and ensure the safety of lives and property across the affected communities.
