Community Secondary School, Allawa in Shororo Local Government Area of Niger State has been reportedly set ablaze by bandits who invaded the community around midnight Thursday.

Although details of casualties were still sketchy as of the time of filing this report, it was gathered that the bandits launched the attack on the school serving as a security base in the area.

Sani Abubakar Yusuf Kokki, the Co-Convener of Concern Shiroro Youths, told our correspondent that the terrorists stormed the town and headed straight to the military camp and thereafter ambushed the Joint Security Task Force stationed in the town.

He said, “During the deadly encounter, the terrorists after setting ablaze Allawa Secondary School which is now serving as the military camp also ransacked the armoury, carted away the military patrol van and evacuated foodstuff therein among other things.”

“That we are now hopeless, hapless and helpless is a huge understatement as our survival has since been placed on life support. Our vulnerability has reached the highest boiling point to the extent of now living at the mercy of dreaded criminals. This current reality is unfortunate, disheartening, saddening and frightening.”

Many communities have suffered bandits’ attacks in the last few days, leading to the death of many while several others have also been displaced.

Efforts to get the police spokesman, DSP Wasiu Abiodun, proved abortive as his number was not reachable as of the time of filing this report.

He had also yet to reply to a text message sent to him.

The Army should go there and BURN down everything including the same school attacked by the insurgents as they normally do in the East!
"Everywhere wutaa wutaa".. Burn and kill the remaining people there for being at the same place attacked by some insurgents! Is that not what they did at Awomama and Izombe? Once the army is attacked in a particular location, everybody there, both man and woman, both supporters of the insurgents and their antagonists are fair game. The Army comes in and lays the whole place bare.. They should extend this creed to all these Northern towns.. That's their operational template..
Like they say as they pillage "everywhere wutaa wutaa", Everywhere fire fire..
