They reportedly passed through the Mamman Kontagora Technical College before abducting the girls, aged between 15 and 17, and taking them to Kwangel Forest, a known criminal hideout.



Gunmen suspected to be bandits have killed a vigilante and kidnapped six girls in Pandogari, a community in Rafi Local Government Area (LGA) of Niger State.

The attack occurred on Wednesday night, with the assailants believed to have arrived in large numbers storming the community through the Birnin Gwari axis.

They reportedly passed through the Mamman Kontagora Technical College before abducting the girls, aged between 15 and 17, and taking them to Kwangel Forest, a known criminal hideout.

Confirming the incident, the Chairman of Rafi LGA, Ayuba Usman Katako, stated that the community has suffered repeated attacks in recent weeks.

He noted that while previous incidents primarily involved kidnappings, Wednesday’s attack was particularly tragic as a vigilante lost his life.

“It is true that bandits attacked Pandogari community. In fact, that was not the only attack in the last two weeks. The Wednesday attack was the third one. In the previous attacks, they only succeeded in kidnapping some people, but on Wednesday, a life was lost before they kidnapped eight people. Fortunately, four of them escaped,” Katako said during a Hausa radio programme on Prestige FM.

The member representing Rafi Constituency in the Niger State House of Assembly, Zubairu Isma’ila Zannan Kwangoma, expressed concern over the worsening security situation in the area.

While raising a motion of urgent public importance, he revealed that 122 people had been kidnapped and two others killed in Rafi LGA over the past month.

He identified the most affected communities as Pandogari, Gidigori, Ringa, and Kawo, stressing that the frequent attacks have led to severe economic hardship, disrupted farming activities, and displaced many residents.

Zannan Kwangoma called for urgent collaboration between the Niger and Kaduna state governments to tackle the escalating insecurity and protect vulnerable communities.

Illiterate

what's the number one function of a government

To secure the lives and properties of the citizens

As commander in chief of the armed forces, Tinubu has failed in his number one duty

As stark tribalistic illiterate that you are
I don't expect you to know this
You are of the opinion that Nigerians should protect and help themselves.

Shame on you

APc made Nigeria the poverty capital of the world

People are begging for sustenance

Tinubu is in France on a 'private visit '

I remember you vividly
You defended and supported Buhari for bloody eight years just like you are doing now
I wonder what came out of all that support
We can today agree that Buhari was a collosal failure in office..

You are the real enemy of this country
not the crooked politicians
you are the enabler of bad governance that has made a lot of people's lives cut short

Your reward is coming fast in this life or after life , no one escapes Karma

The truth is that government is not fighting insecurity.
