Terrorists Attack Niger State Communities, Kill 15 Farmers, 13 Vigilantes, Abduct Scores Of Residents

At least 15 farmers and 13 vigilante members have been killed while scores of people including women and girls were abducted from various communities in Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State by armed bandits.
The farmers were killed on Saturday, just a day after 13 vigilante members were killed and many villagers abducted in Kusharki village.
A community leader in one of the villages who confirmed the attack but preferred hidden identity for security reasons, claimed that the bandits have resumed attacks with full force in some villages in the local government.
Speaking with Channels TV, the community leader who called on the state government and security agencies to come to their aid to ameliorate their hardship, said that the community had been under siege by bandits in the last two weeks as the situation had worsened.
The Senator representing Niger East Senatorial District, Mohammed Sani Musa, also confirmed the attack on Sunday, and expressed concern that the bandits had resumed attacks in four local government councils of Rafi, Paikoro, Munya and Shiroro that form part of his constituency.
However, Senator Musa expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu administration would soon deal with security challenges in the state and Nigeria at large.
The Niger State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Wasiu Abiodun, who also confirmed the attack, however could not confirm the exact casualty figure, rather, he said that the police in collaboration with the military have been dispatched to Yakila, Tegina, Kagara, Pandogari, Kusherki and other villages to restore normalcy in the affected areas.

The drivers of inflation. They extort and discourage farmers thereby causing lower supply on one hand and higher production cost on the other hand. These two outcomes have one further effect in common. Higher prices.
Welcome to the fantastically corrupt shithole called Nigeria.

The iragbiji criminal has continued from where Boo-harry stopped in the APC legacy of bloodshed.

I had to agree with this. There is no way some misfits will rebrand as bandits then use poverty as excuse to go after people poorer than them for farming levies and a govt not in support of the "bandits" will fold her arms and watch on, even to the point of coming up with excuses on behalf of the killérs. Pathetic nation.

Since he assumed office as a president, over 150 people has been killed under his watched, without him raising an eyebrow...
