Abuja under siege as bandits invade Bwari, Niger communities, four killed, 39 abducted

30 December 2023

Not less than four persons have been killed while 39 others were abducted when blood thirsty bandits invaded Kuduru, Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and two communities Garam and Azu in Niger State.

Garam community, which is five minutes drive from Bwari was invaded on Saturday, December 23, by bandits killing a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, while 13 other persons were kidnapped. On Thursday, December 28, bandits again invaded Kuduru, which shares a boundary with Garam, and kidnapped 18 persons.

Also yesterday, December 29, bandits invaded Azu, killing three people and kidnapping eight others. A resident of Garam, who identified herself as Mrs. Juliana said the first house the bandits entered, they asked for the house of their target. She stated: “The bandits entered a wrong house, kidnapped two boys who later led them to the house of their target.

“When they got there, they kidnapped the entire family, but while leaving the house, they shot the man (their target), who is a pastor at the Redeemed Christians Church of God in the presence of his wife and their three children.”
It was further gathered that when the wife realised that she left her six month old baby behind, she asked for permission of the bandits to go carry the baby, and she was followed back to the house by the only female among the bandits.

However, when the female bandit ran out of patience, she left the woman, joined the others and went with the other kidnapped persons who were 13 in number.”
The pastor’s wife, it was gathered, is a teacher in one of the government secondary schools in Bwari. Another eyewitness said the bandits made their way to the house of a military personnel, asking for his rifle and uniform from the wife.

“The wife told them that her husband is on duty. They, however, kidnapped two of his children.” The eyewitness added that 13 persons were kidnapped, while a five year old boy of the Redeemed pastor that was killed was abandoned by the bandits at the river side because he couldn’t cross the river. The boy was rescued by the vigilante who went on the trail of the bandits.

Abuja is just another place in Nigeria. Let them understand what we are going thru

While the thief is in the Lagoon performing Owambe moving around aimlessly in bullion vans of convoy

Reasonable, competent, patriotic leaders
without a stolen mandate call off any kind of owambe to visit those who they " promised" to protect.

MB shine your eyes & know your enemy

Nigeria is under siege. Mr balabulu came & polluted everywhere.

Should ipob be blamed?

Bandits have forced out BH insurgents from the spotlight, and their menace is even spreading to regions of the North,where previously it was unknown.

I've never seen a very careless president like Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Now u now know what we have been saying before the election? It is jihad and the Christians were the target, from plateau to Niger to Abuja and Benue. It will be worse in 2024 and worst of all, they are working with our securities.

Totilopussylick:




If words are weapons Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be gone before day break.


I've never seen a careless president like Bola Ahmed Tinubu

it will get to everyone, dey play

I'll take charge of the the economy while shettima will take charge of security ~~~ Tinubu (2023)

The only people I know that can win this Fulani jihadist terrorist called bandits are the Biafran soldiers and no other people... infact they're wired for such combats.

If you're expecting Nigeria soldiers to defend you against Fulani marauding killing herdsmen you're high on cheap weed.

Nigeria soldiers will do nothing.

And the killings will continue next year

This country should go back to regional governance. That is the only solution. There is nothing like one Nigeria, how can you send someone from sokoto to come and oversee things concerning security in Oyo. Things aren't done that way.

And they killed only four people when are they going to kill tinubu

Chai! Right within the precinct of the FCT - the nation’s seat of power yet a grab and snatch it druggie is chilling enjoying holiday.
