Summary:
Armed attackers raided the Daji market in Demo village, Niger state, central Nigeria, on Saturday afternoon, killing over 30 people and kidnapping several others, according to police spokesperson Wasiu Abiodun. The assailants arrived on motorcycles, set fire to market stalls, and seized food supplies. Locals reported previous attacks in neighboring villages since Friday and noted the absence of security forces during the incidents. The attack is part of a broader pattern of violence and mass kidnappings in Nigeria, which has contributed to severe food insecurity in the region.

Scripture: Proverbs 1:11-12
"If they say, "Come with us, Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us ambush the innocent without cause; Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, Even whole, as those who go down to the pit;""
Commentary:
When attacks like this occur, it is not just headlines—families lose their sense of safety, markets, and means of survival. In the absence of basic order, evil can take root and spread quickly. It is especially hard when communities feel abandoned by those meant to protect them. Scripture identifies such lawlessness as a sign of troubled times, warning that cycles of violence and predation will intensify as prophetic patterns accelerate globally. People in these regions see firsthand that moral collapse is not theoretical—it disrupts daily life.
Prophetic Trend:
Widening lawlessness and unchecked violence are destabilizing societies, fueling cycles of fear and vulnerability that align with biblical patterns of the end times.
