Bandits Open Fire In A Market In Niger State, Killing Many People by Masterstroke4: 8:11am On Mar 22
An unspecified number of people have been reportedly killed when bandits invaded a market in Madaka community, Rafi LGA of Niger State.

The residents said the attackers invaded the market around 3pm on Thursday when the market was at its peak, shooting sporadically at people.

Details of the attack were still sketchy at the time of filing this report but one of the residents who spoke in confidence said the number of casualties had not been ascertained yet.

The people said the attack came two days after bandits also attacked Pangu Gari, killing the district head and four other people.

The Niger State Commissioner for Homeland Security, Brig Gen. Bello Abdullahi Mohammed (rtd), confirmed the attack.

Though he did not give details of the attack, he said state government was working in collaboration with security agencies to put an end to the incessant attacks on farming communities in the state.

The boldness which these bastards carry out attacks in niger state is alarming. So tey they will tell the communities to pay levy if they want to farm. Why don't they just blow up shiroro dam if them get mind. Scumbags. They know the power in their state Favours their people.

If this happened in the east the headline would have been different.

You know warram talking about 🤭🤭🤭🤭

What is the secondary gain of these attacks ? There has to be an associated monetary gain, they are not opening fire to steal yam and rice !

Who sponsors these attacks ?

Where do these people come from ?

If government is paying traditional rulers salary....they should use that network as a resource to gather intelligence on who are the troublemakers in the locality. Every small community has a leader,talk to these people through delegates.

I still believed we are not attacked by spirits, these people eat, commute, marry, have children, have in-laws, they dont live in the bush on trees. They live within our midst.

Also each state governor should set up community grievance/conflict resolution, petitions should be sent and documented. Some conflicts can be resolved before it gets to the Ukuama/okolobia situation.

Attacking farming communities will on the long run cause food shortages!

These people are obviously not among those fasting!

We ask Allah to expose them and bring them to justice very soon!

Catch these people and use Shariah law on them to set examples!

“The recompense of those who wage war against Allaah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off from opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter” [al-Maa’idah 5:33]

May Almighty God protect us all.

When people commit crime and go scot free, they will come back and commit more crimes.

The only way to end insecurities in Nigeria is to end the financiers, accomplices, perpetrators and beneficiaries of these criminals acts.

Islam is a religion of pace, but not in nigeria.

Their foothold in kogi would be kogi central...though they are trying to make incursion into the Eastern part of the state via Omala bordering Nasarawa, thanks to some greedy community folks...as for the western part of kogi they are already in their bushes though dormant and awaiting order...!!

Kogi though would be very hard to crack cos those once can mix everything carry fight...!!

Jazz level dem dey, heart dem get...fulanis would have a run for their money in kogi state...!!

Nigerians are really going through hell in their own country.
This is a pure case of leadership failure and cluelessness.
