Following bandits renewed onslaught on Niger state, carrying out an early morning raid on Gauraka town in Tafa local government area of the state and ended up kidnapping no fewer than twelve people from the area.

Newspremises gathered that residents of Gauraka community in Tafa Local Government Area of Niger State have blocked the Abuja-Kaduna highway to protest the incessant cases of kidnapping in the community.

The protesters burnt tyres and halted vehicular movement on the highway.

They demanded that the state and Federal Government boost security in the area and end the incessant attacks.

This comes after kidnappers stormed the area on Saturday and Sunday kidnapping at least fifteen persons from the community and killing three others.

There have been speculations about Boko Haram terrorists infiltrating Gauraka community after Governor Abubakar Bello announced that terrorists have hoisted their flags in some communities in Niger State in April.

Gauraka community is about five kilometres away from Nigeria’s seat of power, Abuja.

Residents lament that they have long lost sleep due to the activities of kidnappers who have continued to terrorise the community.

They explained that more than thirty people have been abducted from January to date.

Niger State has come under serious banditry attacks which have left hundreds of people killed, including security personnel, and more than fifteen thousand people displaced who are now taking shelter in temporary camps provided by the state government.

Waste of time. This is the change that the lifeless cow promised Nigerians.

Una say #EndSars, dem don end dem. Bandits sef follow say #EndSars come take their brigandage a notch higher.

Instead of una to cooperate and work hand in hand with the few security personnel still willing to risk their lives and collectively begin to nip this national lawlessness in the bud, una still dey destroy the little that is left of these security agencies.

Una never know where dey pain una yet...make una continue dey destroy all the security infrastructures in place. Una go soon understand the difference between security and insecurity.

Na this one my mama dey call...do me, do body...
