HORROR IN SOKOTO, NIGER, KADUNA: ‘Bandits kill farmers, seize survivors’ harvest, turn abducted women into sex slaves’.

Killings, kidnappings, sex slavery and illegal taxation of farmers. These four issues would determine food security in Nigeria in 2022, findings by Sunday Vanguard have revealed.

Farmers in the northern part of the country are already battling the four factors, which have left them in a state of confusion.

Majority now pay tax to bandits before accessing their farms while others have fled their communities. They are now refugees in other parts of the nation including Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.

Speaking to Sunday Vanguard, some of the farmers in the worst affected North-East and North-West regions narrated their ordeals and frustration.

Their peace and means of livelihood that is dear to them has been literally taken away by bandits. Leaders of the farmers in Sokoto, Niger, Adamawa and Kaduna states narrated their hapless situation to Sunday Vanguard, accusing the authorities of doing little to address the situation.

Small Scale Women Farmers Organisation in Nigeria, SWOFON, in the North-West and North-East, said its members are the segment of farmers bearing the brunt of bandits, herdsmen and insurgents’ attacks.

Coordinator of SWOFON in Niger State, Grace Disa, said: “I am from Gurara Local Government Area of Niger State.

“Due to insecurity in Niger State women are really suffering because most of them cannot go to their farms to cultivate or harvest any crop. “Our women have been soft targets and victims of bandits and kidnappers.

“Like last season harvest, herdsmen invaded their farmers with their cattle and ate their farm produce that was to be harvested.

“Bandits also kidnapped most of our women farmers and their families while some were killed.

“Shiroro, Munya, Mashegu, Rafi, and Mariga LGAs are the most hit in the state.

“This year will be very difficult for our women farmers because there will be high prices of foodstuff.

“And the bandits gave farmers conditions before they could access their farms.

“One of them is that during harvest, farmers would settle them with half of their harvest or pay some money.

“Each farm is to pay N20, 000, but our women refused and fled the community. “This is also because of fear of being kidnapped or taken away to be their sex slaves.

“Even when we pay the money, bandits still take some people away. The Hausa language they speak does not sound like the Nigerian Hausa.

“There are also informants living in our communities.

“Currently, a lot of women farmers and their families have fled to Kuta in Shiroro LGA while some are in Minna.’’

The Fulani bandits and BH lunatics are all accelerating the WEF agenda of a global food famine with the full complicit support and backing of the Buhari govt.

They want you starving so as to get you to enroll into their UBI scheme and from there have total and full control of your life.

N-Power is a precursor to this Universal Basic Income with the eNaira as a forefront of the incoming global digital currency .

Nigeria is ground zero for the WEF.

They have been testing every foolishness they are now rolling out in the West in Nigeria.

The clampdown on the Canadian Truckers movement protesting covid 19 restrictions and mandates followed the same pattern used earlier by Emefile in dealing with Endsars protesters with their bank accounts frozen


Nigeria is the most Jewed and screwed nation on earth.

We are not even a nation again but a Jewish owned slave plantation .
