The Edo State Massacre refers to a violent incident that occurred on 28 March 2025 in the Udune Efandion community of Uromi, Esan South East Local Government Area, Edo State, Nigeria. Sixteen individuals, primarily Hausa hunters from Northern Nigeria, were killed by a mob following false accusations of kidnapping. The victims were stopped by local security personnel, who found homemade weapons in their vehicle, which led to the confrontation that resulted in their deaths.
