Suspected bandits have ordered the residents of M.I Wushishi Estate in Minna, the Niger State capital, to vacate the estate or get killed.

The bandits suspected to be miners were said to have invaded the estate when most of the male residents had gone to work breaking cars and windows of houses.

A resident who pleaded anonymity on Monday said the attack came after residents had gone to report the matter at a neighbourhood police station.

The resident said, “Hoodlums we suspect are miners in the neighbourhood have asked all the residents of MI Wushishi Housing Estate in Minna, the Niger State Capital to vacate their homes or get killed.

“These guys invaded the community in broad light, breaking window glasses. several cars were also damaged.”

He added, “You will know that the attack came after residents reported to the police how illegal miners in the community have caused damage to our homes.

“These guys told us that they were coming for us and they came. They came after most men had gone to work. Many top civil servants, including directors and permanent secretaries, live in the estate.

“I know of many people who have moved out of the estate this evening for fear of the attacks. Nowhere is safe in the state. If bandits and terrorists are not chasing people from their homes it is hoodlums and miners. Where is government for the Sake of Allah.”

When contacted on Tuesday, the Niger State Police Command spokesman, Wasiu Abiodun, confirmed the attack but noted that peace had returned to the estate.

“On 02/09/2024 at about 1400hrs, a distress call was received that suspected illegal miners, miscreants/thugs engaged in a fight and were attacking houses at M.I Wushishi Estate, Minna.

“Police patrol teams led by DPO Maitumbi moved to the scene and the miscreants were dispersed, however, one person among the gangs whose identity is yet to be known was killed by the hoodlums, and was taken to the general hospital morgue.

“Meanwhile, normalcy was restored, investigation is ongoing to arrest the assailants and the patrol teams have been positioned in the area to forestall reoccurrence,” Abiodun stated.

“I know of many people who have moved out of the estate this evening for fear of the attacks. Nowhere is safe in the state. If bandits and terrorists are not chasing people from their homes it is hoodlums and miners. Where is government for the Sake of Allah.”

Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.
