Scanty thread cos it's not happening the east.

That's my route!

I know the place like the back of my hands.


Those bandits are of Fulani origin terrorising that region.

Most of these bandits are from Niger,Mali and Burkina Faso.


Our porous borders in the north is responsible for these attacks.

More security personnel must be deployed to that region to guarantee safety of lives and properties.

Seems no where is safe in Nigeria. If bandits can boldly attack an immigration check point without being caught, what is the hope of the common armless civilians
