Gunmen open fire on people after a funeral in Nigeria’s north-central region, according to reports from multiple outlets. The attack kills eight people, with victims caught in the aftermath of the funeral as they gather nearby. Police accounts, as reported by outlets, list eight fatalities. Amnesty International Nigeria is cited as saying the death toll is at least 10, reflecting a wider gap that sometimes appears between human-rights monitoring and police reporting. The incidents are described as part of ongoing violence in the region, where attacks on civilians are regularly reported. Authorities investigate the incident, but the reports focus on the timing and setting of the attack—gunmen firing after the funeral—rather than naming suspects or detailing a motive. The casualty figures remain contested between police and Amnesty International Nigeria, with at least eight confirmed by police and Amnesty saying at least 10 people are killed. No further details about injuries, arrests, or the identity of the attackers are included in the provided summaries.
