> Officials say at least 25 people, mostly women and children, were killed when armed men moved from house to house in Bin-Per, Plateau state's Mangu area, on Monday night. The massacre followed earlier killings and suspected reprisals, amid escalating violence between Muslim Fulani herders and mainly Christian farmers. A local advocacy group accused authorities of failing to protect vulnerable communities.
