At least 47 bandits terrorising Shiroro communities in Niger State have been killed by local hunters.

The hunters, in a sting-like operation, raided a ‘riverside’ community in Magami between Shiroro and Rafi local government areas on Wednesday and killed the bandits.

According to a news dissemination platform, PRNigeria, the community, which is close to a river, has been used as hideouts by Niger bandits, who also established their camps in the axis.

A police intelligence officer, who asked not to be mentioned, confirmed that several bandits also fled with gunshot wounds, aside those killed.

“I can tell you for a fact that the bandits met their waterloo. At least 47 of them were eliminated by the hunters who participated in the operation,” he said.

PRNigeria could not confirm if the hunters are part of the recently inaugurated Niger Special Vigilante Corps (NSVC) which was formulated by the police and the state government to streamline the activities of all local security outfits into one special corps.

During the inauguration of the corps in June 2021, Niger State governor, Abubakar Sani Bello, said banditry activities would not intimidate the people or the government as they would not allow bandits to change the style of living of the people.

Sani-Bello had said: “Bandits want to force us to change our way of life in Niger State but we won’t allow them.

“They stopped our children from going to school, they stopped us from travelling on our roads, they stopped farmers from going to the farm and now they are trying to stop from anything, but we will not be intimidated. We will not allow that to happen; we will continue to live our normal lives.”

ah is this for real or normal propaganda by this evil! government

Nice one

Kudos to the gallant hunters. This is the only option left to the masses.

What the trained and better equipped Nigeria millitary refuse to do, ordinary hunters are showing them the way.

But we know why our soldiers only chase freedom fighters, but romance the terrorists. Don't be surprised if the impotent soldiers suddenly wake up and start arresting the hunters.

This news will surely break buhari's heart

They should post pictures of this.

Any news that has Nigeria police mentioned in it is almost always doubtful

The only good news I read from Nigeria today.

News like this makes you wanna visit a pub and drink yourself to stupor due to happiness but sadly, I don't drink.

Nice one .

If at all its true that means Mannequin in Aso Rock won't eat and sleep for 47 days . lolx

Buhari won't eat for next 3 days

Great news!

But I pray the bandits will not come back for a reprisal. If they do, it could be bloody...

Nice move


I still believe I'm Nigeria

Very good job let them continue to wipe out the cursed barbarians from their land.

Good we shall need their se service to protect our schools and if the military would not be too shy they can also benefit. :

Buhari can't sleep for two weeks
