Gunmen killed over 90 people during attacks on several villages in Katsina state and set homes on fire. The attacks were blamed on Fulani herdsmen; the police chief insisted that the attackers were not Boko Haram. President Jonathan was visiting Katsina at the time of the attacks. Police rescued one of President Jonathan's uncles from kidnappers and foiled an attempt to kidnap one of his cousins.
