Bandits have attacked communities in Mashegu local government area of Niger State, killing about 16 vigilante members and abducting 42 residents.

The attacks, according to a source, took place between Sunday, November 9 and Thursday, November 13, 2025, leaving several communities deserted as people fled to other communities for their safety.

According to him, “The bandits first stormed Dutsen Magaji village on Sunday and abducted 22 people.”

“When they came on Sunday, the vigilantes went after them and engaged them in a gun battle; in the process, three vigilantes were killed and five people are currently in the hospital.”

He further explained that the attackers returned at dawn on Thursday, November 13, invading Magama village during early morning prayers, stressing that they surrounded the mosque while people were praying and abducted more than 20 people.

He stated that some vigilantes followed them, not knowing the bandits had laid an ambush, pointing out that the bandits opened fire and 13 vigilantes were killed, and several others were injured.

In a statement, the Press Secretary to the chairman of Mashegu LGA, Isah Ibrahim Bokuta, confirmed the killings, describing the fallen vigilantes as heroes who sacrificed their lives in defence of their communities,

Bokuta stated that the local government appreciated their bravery and selfless commitment to keeping the area safe.

The Niger State Police Command spokesperson, SP Wasiu Abiodun, when contacted, assured.

Russia has been selling a lot of their old Soviet weapons to black market in Sahel.

That's is why these bandits can afford to get a Soviet anti aircraft gun.

Russia needs money to fund Ukraine war
They sell their old weapons to all these hungry African rebels and bandits via Sahel black market.

Russia made massive cashout of profit when the Libya crisis war started.
Russian sold so many AK47 and ammunitions to different factions to kill themselves.

Selling old weapons is another lucrative business of Russia apart from oil

Calling them bandits is an indication that the Nigerian State encourages terrorism.

When you name arm robbers as pocket pickers, you've watered down the severity of the crime.

They're not bandits but terrorists. Trump pls take note

And there are people in this country who are hell bent on making us believe in the idea of a Christian genocide when 90% of terror victims are Muslims in Zamfara, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Borno and Naira. But they will just cherry pick attacks against Christians in Benue and Plateau then turn a blind eye to every other thing
