A new and deadly terrorist group known as ‘Mahmuda’ has reportedly emerged in North-Central Nigeria, raising fresh security concerns in a region already plagued by incessant violence.
According to multiple local sources and reports from Parallel Facts News, the group launched a brutal attack that left more than 15 local vigilantes dead in a coordinated ambush. The incident occurred in a rural community within the region, though specific details about the exact location are still unfolding.
The emergence of Mahmuda adds another dangerous layer to Nigeria’s complex security landscape, particularly in the Middle Belt where clashes between armed groups, bandits, and community defense units have intensified in recent years.
Local authorities and security agencies have yet to issue an official statement on the attack or provide details about the group’s origin, ideology, or operational capacity. However, eyewitnesses describe the attackers as heavily armed and highly organized.
Community leaders are calling on the federal government to take swift action, urging increased military presence and intelligence operations to prevent further bloodshed.
This development comes at a time when Nigeria is battling multiple fronts — from insurgencies in the Northeast to banditry and kidnappings in the Northwest and North-Central.
More details to follow as the story develops.
