Nigeria Is Mourning Another Brazen Bandit Attack. A Bloodletting Band Of Gunmen by Alozie21(m): 11:35am On Mar 30, 2022
List of what the integrity lead Administration have to say about the high level of insecurity in Nigeria.

EFFORTS OF SECURITY AGENCIES NOT GOOD ENOUGH’
On December 11, 2020, with President Muhammadu Buhari present in Kastina, a gang of bandits invaded the Government Science Secondary School in Kankara LGA of the state. The assailants roved into the school compound on motorcycles, shooting sporadically into the air before abducting 344 students — with the president just 188km away.

JANGEBE WILL BE THE LAST’
On February 26, 2021, in Jangebe, a town in Talata-Mafara LGA of Zamfara state, 279 students of the Government Girls Secondary School in the area were abducted by bandits.

The girls were freed on March 2 through the help of repentant bandits, according to the state government.

Leading the federal government’s delegation to the state after the girls’ release, Hadi Sirika, minister of aviation, said the president promised that the incident would be the last school adoption the nation would witness under his administration.

DETERMINED TO SECURE NIGERIA
But it wasn’t to be as just a few days later, on March 12, 2021, gunmen attacked the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka, Igabi LGA of Kaduna state, and abducted 29 students.

The students were not released until May 5 – seven weeks later – after they were reportedly ransomed, courtesy of a pool of contributions from the victims’ parents.

BUHARI APPEALING TO BANDITS
On April 18, 2021, another group of bandits abducted students from Greenfield University, Kaduna.

The assailants requested N800 million as ransom, and when their demands were not met early enough, they killed five of the students, further threatening to kill more.

On May 5, after the students had spent weeks in the den of their kidnappers, Buhari switched tactics and appealed to the bandits “for the release of the students of the Greenfield University and all other citizens held in captivity”.

‘NEW METHODS ARE YIELDING GOOD RESULTS’
The bandits sure did not heed his plea because another attack happened on July 8. Thirty-five people were killed when gunmen attacked five communities in Maradun LGA of Zamfara state.

The gunmen were said to have invaded the communities on over 90 motorcycles — and also set houses ablaze.

SWIFT JUSTICE’ IN PLATEAU
At least 22 people were killed while 14 others sustained injuries when suspected hoodlums attacked buses conveying worshippers to Ondo state on August 14, 2021.

WE NEED NIGERIANS’ SUPPORT TO END THIS EVIL’
Not less than 23 travellers were killed when gunmen opened fire on a bus at Gidan Bawa village in Isa LGA of Sokoto state on December 8.

Reacting to the incident in a statement signed by Femi Adesina, presidential spokesperson, Buhari called for the support of Nigerians in curbing the menace of the banditry
WE’LL SMOKE OUT THE CRIMINALS’
From the late evening of January 5 to the early hours of the following day, gunmen invaded about five communities in Bukkuyum and Anka LGAs of Zamfara state, killing over 200 villagers and setting many houses ablaze.

Reacting, Buhari described the incident as an “act of desperation by mass murderers” who are “under relentless pressure” from the military.

I’LL TACKLE THIS MONSTER DECISIVELY’

On March 5, over 60 vigilantes were ambushed and killed by gunmen in some communities of Sakaba/Wassagu LGA of Kebbi state.

According to a resident, “When they first came, they kidnapped people and stole cattle. The members of the community started shouting ‘thieves’ after the bandits had left, and the vigilantes immediately mobilised and went after the bandits to rescue the kidnapped victims and stolen cattle.

WE’LL DEAL WITH THEM RUTHLESSLY’

Om Monday night, a daring gang of bandits ambushed a moving train while it was a few minutes away from the Kaduna station.

According to Samuel Aruwan, Kaduna commissioner for internal security and home affairs, said 362 passengers boarded the train and eight of them have been confirmed dead.
And I ask Will Kaduna train attack truly be the turning point in the war against terror?

The attack on Boko Haram is an attack against the north crooner will never fight these terrorists simply because they are his kinsmen. He is covertly and overtly supporting them.

Any youth still wailing to this satanic APC about the insecurity in Nigeria is just a big fool . Wasn't it Buhari's cabinet that refused to call herdsmen and bandits terrorist until public outcry?

This same luciferian-APC regime was the one that blatantly starting spreading false propaganda that they were winning the war against insecurity but failed to meet up with their statements. As we can see ,insecurity has the upper hand in most parts of Northern Nigeria , and murdering bandit are now having their way with the livelihood of people. My advice to any youth who loves his life is to jappa if you have the chance because your life is not valued by these bastards we call leaders
