Nigeria Communal Violence Leaves 18 Dead in Niger State Land Dispute

At least 18 people were confirmed dead following a wave of communal violence in Nigeria's Niger State. The clashes were triggered by a land dispute between local communities, which escalated after unidentified gunmen killed a resident earlier in the week. The subsequent reprisal attacks resulted in significant loss of life and property damage before security forces could intervene. Local authorities are reportedly investigating the incident and attempting to mediate the long-standing ethnic and territorial grievances in the region.
