On April 29, 2025, suspected Boko Haram militants launched a deadly attack on Kwaple village in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State, Nigeria. The assailants targeted mourners attending a funeral, resulting in the deaths of at least 14 individuals. Reports indicate that the attackers opened fire on the mourners and pursued them into nearby bushes as they attempted to flee. The militants also set ablaze a church and several houses during the assault.

Local authorities and community leaders have confirmed the incident, with ongoing efforts to recover additional bodies and provide support to the affected community. This tragic event underscores the persistent threat posed by Boko Haram in northeastern Nigeria, particularly in regions like Chibok that have previously suffered from similar attacks. ​

The Nigerian government has condemned the attack and reaffirmed its commitment to combating terrorism and ensuring the safety of its citizens. Security forces are reportedly intensifying operations in the area to apprehend the perpetrators and prevent further incidents.​

This latest attack serves as a somber reminder of the ongoing challenges in securing peace and stability in regions affected by insurgency. The resilience of the affected communities continues to be tested as they navigate the aftermath of such tragedies.
