Vanguard reports the incident occurred on Sunday and quotes the state police public relations officer, SP Bashir Usman, confirming the killing without naming the victim. Daily Post Nigeria reports the victim’s name as Alhaji Sa’idu Mujeli, also known as Sarkin Lafagu, citing information shared by a crisis reporter on X. The Punch similarly says police confirm the killing of the Lafagu village head, describing it as beheading but without adding further identifying information.
Across outlets, all accounts agree on the location—Lafagu in Bagudo LGA, Kebbi State—and that armed attackers kill and behead the village head. Differences mainly concern the timing coverage and whether the victim is identified publicly.
