thebosstrevor1: Victim Of Sokoto Bandits’ Attack Dies In Hospital After Losing Mother, Children To Incident Shafa'atu said the bandits opened fire on the vehicle, forcing it to somersault. One of the initial survivors of the bandits’ attack in which 23 passengers of a bus were burnt to death in Sokoto State has died after narrating her ordeal. The 30-year-old woman, who was receiving treatment at the Usman Danfordiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto, for burns sustained during the incident, had revealed that her mother and children were victims of the attack. Recounting her ordeal, the woman identified as Shafa’atu said there were 33 elderly persons and many children in the vehicle when it was attacked by armed men believed to be loyal to Bello Turji, a notorious bandits’ kingpin terrorising the Eastern part of Sokoto. Shafa'atu said the bandits opened fire on the vehicle, forcing it to somersault. The men reportedly stood back to watch their victims die after an explosion occurred thereafter. She had said, “They kept firing at our vehicle until it somersaulted three times and burst into flames. Only I and one other passenger miraculously came out of the bus but the other passenger later died from gunshot injuries. “I lost my four children, three girls who were grown up and my 10-month-old baby. I watched them, including my mother, maternal uncle, nephew and niece burn to ashes while the attackers were watching with delight.” The incident had attracted global outrage including from human rights’ body, Amnesty International, which said President Muhammadu Buhari and the security agencies had failed in securing the country. Amnesty International had lamented in a statement days ago that perpetrators of such attacks had not been brought to justice. It had added that the situation left Sokoto and other parts of the North feeling completely let down and helpless. “Amnesty International is appalled by killing of dozens of travellers in Isa Local Government Area of Sokoto State. According to the Sokoto Government, 23 persons died of injuries sustained from burns after bandits shot at a bus conveying travellers from Sokoto to Kaduna. “The Nigerian authorities have left rural communities in Sokoto State at the mercy of rampaging gunmen who have killed hundreds in the last two years. On 28 May, at least 74 people were reportedly killed in Sokoto State, when gunmen attacked four villages in Sabon Birni Local Government Area. “The violence has forced many farmers and their families to flee their homes. This is pushing the region to the brink of a major humanitarian crisis. The Nigerian authorities’ failure to stem the violence is costing people’s lives and livelihoods, and without immediate action, many more lives may be lost,” Amnesty International had said. http://saharareporters.com/2021/12/11/victim-sokoto-bandits%E2%80%99-attack-dies-hospital-after-losing-mother-children-incident#:~:text=%E2%80%9CAmnesty%20International%20is%20appalled%20by,travellers%20from%20Sokoto%20to%20Kaduna.

Fresh convoy attack: Bandits kill 6, kidnap many travellers in Kaduna State Again, bandits have attacked another convoy of travellers along the dreaded Kaduna-Birnin Gwari road. Locals said they killed 6 and kidnapped many. This is coming barely a day when over 70 traders on their way to Kano, were kidnapped on that road, including their police escorts. However, the Kaduna Police Command claimed its operatives have foiled the attack and rescued 48 traders on Thursday. But a local told journalists that the bandits have attacked another convoy conveying travellers along Kaduna-Birnin Gwari highway in Kaduna State. “Six persons are believed to have been killed in the attack while many travellers were abducted.” “The bandits attacked at Unguwar Geda, close to Zankoro, a dreaded location along the highway, around 3 pm, on Thursday.”. ” My brother is among those who were abducted” ”As I’m speaking to you now, I can confirm six people dead and we don’t know how many were abducted. My younger brother is among those abducted. In fact, the bandits have started calling this evening,” he said. Malam Umaru of Udawa town said his younger brother too, was killed during the attack. Amidst sobs, he said, “It’s too bad; they killed my brother; we just received his body and we are preparing to bury him.” No reaction yet, from the authorities, on this fresh attack. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2021/12/fresh-convoy-attack-bandits-kill-6-kidnap-many-travellers-in-kaduna-state/amp/ Good job from the Bandits...

Bandit attacks drive Nigerian villagers to flee to Niger Killings, kidnapping and looting have driven 11,500 Nigerians to seek safety in Niger’s Tahoua region in November. Over three nights in November, armed groups, locally called “bandits,” attacked villages in the border area of Sabon Birni, Sokoto State in Northwest Nigeria. Armed men stormed Rachida Naino’s village in the middle of the night. “We heard gunshots, they were stripping people from all their belongings,” says the 30-year-old mother of five. “After an hour, they came to us and asked for money My husband replied: ‘I have no money, I am a simple farmer, I only have my crop to give you.’” “The armed men were not convinced,” Rachida continues. “They called my husband a liar and shot him dead, then they burned our grain stock.” Stories of murder, kidnapping for ransom and looting are common among the 11,500 Nigerians who have arrived since mid-November in Niger’s Tahoua region. The violence comes against the backdrop of intercommunal clashes between farmers and herders as competition increases for dwindling resources, aggravated by the climate crisis. “They called my husband a liar and shot him dead, then they burned our grain stock.” The November arrivals, mostly women and children, have taken refuge in 26 villages in the rural commune of Bangui. The area was already home to 3,500 Nigerian refugees since September. There are close family ties between the two sides of the border. Garba Guirey, 71, is now staying at his cousin’s house. “When the gunmen attacked us, they killed the young men,” he says. “My son was one of them. I didn’t have crops in my granary, so they set fire to our fields. I managed to flee but I have no news of my wife and children.” The new arrivals need water, food and shelter. In coordination with Nigerien authorities, UNHCR, the Refugee Agency, is registering them, identifying the most vulnerable, and providing emergency assistance, including shelters. UNHCR and partners are also strengthening local health and education infrastructure in Bangui. including building latrines for 12 schools and water access for six others. The main health centre in Bangui will be connected to water and electricity and five smaller health centres will be provided with staff. “This wave of attacks reflects the intense activity of criminal groups in northern Nigeria and raises fears of further displacement,” said Emmanuel Gignac, UNHCR’s representative in Niger. “We call on the international community and to donors to step up their efforts to put an end to the vicious circle of violence engulfing the region and to assist its population.” “We call on the international community to step up their efforts to put an end to the vicious circle of violence.” Niger now hosts more than 200,000 Nigerian refugees, including 57,000 refugees from north-west Nigeria in Maradi region, and 15,000 in Tahoua region. In total, some 600,000 refugees and internally displaced people live in the country. “We commend the generosity of Niger and its people. They have always kept their doors open, regardless of the myriad challenges they face,” Gignac added. The Central Sahel countries of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger are at the epicentre of one of world’s fastest-growing displacement and protection crises. More than 900,000 refugees and nearly 2.5 million internally displaced people are hosted in the region. In Niger, humanitarian efforts to respond to the emergency are dangerously overstretched. UNHCR’s operation, which requires US$110.7 million for 2021 is 65 per cent funded. Continued and increasing support is needed for UNHCR to continue providing life-saving assistance. https://www.unhcr.org/news/latest/2021/12/61a9d2844/bandit-attacks-drive-nigerian-villagers-flee-niger.html Death to more useless aboki 1 Like |

Bandit’s storm Abuja community, abduct 8 persons, kill housewife Armed bandits have reportedly shot and killed a house-wife and abducted 8 eight other residents at Piri, an Abuja community in the Kwali Area Council of the FCT. The kidnappers were said to have stormed the remote community community in the wee hiurs connecting Tuesday and Wednesday morning. A resident, Yakubu Saidu told newsmen that the kidnappers first attacked two houses and whisked away two persons amid sporadic gunshots. Yakubu said the kidnappers targeted a car dealer identified as Sadauna but since they could not get him, they went away with two of his brothers, on Tuesday night. They were said to have returned to the community on Wednesday during which Salamatu was killed. The deceased, who was the senior wife of Yusuf Maigunwa, a yam seller in Kwali, attempted to escape through the back door when she was shot dead. “The husband of the deceased woman was at home when the kidnappers came, but they couldn’t locate where he was hiding, as they whisked away his second wife and two others inside the house. “Some gangs of the kidnappers, who positioned themselves at strategic places within the community, invaded two houses and whisked away three residents. “The late woman have been buried in accordance with Islamic rites,” he added. Efforts by Vanguard to get the Public Relations Officer of FCT Command, DSP Josephine Adeh to comment on steps being taken towards rescuing the victims proved abortive as several calls to her phone was not answered https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/12/bandits-storm-abuja-community-abduct-8-persons-kill-housewife/amp/ |

Bandits slaughter village head, eight others in Zamfara The bandits reportedly slaughtered the village head in the presence of his people Bandits have slaughtered the village head and killed eight others in Tungar Ruwa in Anka local government area of Zamfara State. The incident occurred at midnight on Wednesday. PREMIUM TIMES gathered that the attack lasted for several hours. The police spokesperson in the state, Mohammed Shehu, confirmed the attack but he did not give details. Anka is one of the local government areas in Zamfara under incessant attacks by bandits. Rural people displaced by the attacks have flooded the headquarters of the local government area and Maru as well as Talata Mafara local government areas. A source, Anas Mustapha, told this newspaper that the bandits invaded the village on motorbikes and started shooting into the air as they rode towards the village head’s residence. They then took him out and slaughtered him in the presence of some of his people that were also gathered by the bandits. ALSO READ: Bandits abduct five, impose fresh levy on Sokoto communities “Eight other people were confirmed dead when the bandits left after the attack. But our understanding is that they (bandits) came for the village head. You know when they feel a particular leader in a community is giving them troubles, they do kill him instantly,” Mr Mustapha said. He said the bandits also stole foodstuff and domestic animals in the village but did not kidnap anyone This is coming a few days after bandits laid ambush on a road and killed seven mobile police officers on patrol duty in the state. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/495050-bandits-slaughter-village-head-eight-others-in-zamfara.html |

Bandits have invaded Yanbuki village in the Zurmi Local Government Area of Zamfara State, killing seven people and stealing 1,5000 cows and sheep. An indigene of the village, Garba Musa, told our correspondent that the bandits stormed the village on Tuesday night, shooting indiscriminately. Musa said, “Immediately they arrived, they opened fire on anyone they could see. Everybody ran helter-skelter to protect themselves. “They later moved from house to house, searching for foodstuffs and animals and also broke many shops. “They also rustled over 1,500 domestic animals like cows, sheep and goats.” He added that after the bandits left the village, the residents came out from hiding and discovered that seven people had been shot dead, while others sustained injuries. “We have buried the seven people, but the number of casualties could be more than this because some people ran to the bush and have yet to be seen.” The spokesperson for police in the state, SP Mohammed Shehu, confirmed the attack. He added, “The Commissioner of Police has already deployed enough police personnel in the area in order to restore peace.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/zamfara-bandits-conduct-house-to-house-raid-kill-seven-steal-1500-cows/%3famp |

Bandits have abducted 35 residents and killed 10 others in five villages in the Gusau Local Government Area of Zamfara State. Following the incident, hundreds of residents deserted their homes due to consistent attacks by the bandits. The villagers said they were being terrorised despite signing a N15 million peace deal with the marauding bandits. The villages that have paid the levy sum are Karazau Dantsauni, Gidan-Tsamiya, Gurgurawa, Kwalaye and Gudan-kaura. FIJ gathered that despite paying the huge amounts to the terrorists, 35 people, including women and children, who decided to stay behind, were kidnapped while 10 others were killed in cold blood. The villagers said they sold some of their belongings, including their farms, to raise the N15 million levy. But to their dismay, the bandits are still asking for more money for their protection. Mohammed Shehu, the Zamfara police spokesperson, told Punch that there was no official complaint on the payment of N15 million levy to bandits. He also said that Ayuba Elkana, the Commissioner of Police in the state, has deployed police officers, in collaboration with other security agents, to the area. https://fij.ng/article/bandits-abduct-35-kill-10-after-pocketing-n15m-peace-levy-in-zamfara/ |

walefresh3:on the basic level, I don't think any state in Nigeria classifies to be called developed in the real sense. Just glorified villages posing as states. No state in Nigeria can boast of pipe borne water,24hrs electricity, rail transport within the city, land lines,gas lines within buildings.aesthetics is not a measure of development. No state in Nigeria can be classified as such. So most times we just use that word sparingly. Aesthetic wise, I prefer Abuja to Lagos. The traffic alone in Lagos will remove 25 years from ones life. This is not about beef or bigotry, but in terms of aesthetics, can Lagos march Johannesburg? And if you go the route of having the largest IGR, you ask your self why is Lagos the only state with that? Was it because of the ingenuity of the administrators or just because Nigeria happened? Why do people go to Lagos? Former capital,ports sea and air, head offices of major oil companies reside in Lagos. Now ask yourself, if Nigeria was truly a federal system, would Lagos still generate the amount of money it does when that's the case? What you see it's just artificial. |
