Three Bandits Gang-Rape 13-Year-Old In Niger State, Leaving Her Hospitalised

A 13‑year‑old girl has been hospitalised after being gang‑raped by three bandits while returning from the market with her elder brother, Rabiu A. Bawa, in Kudodo village, Galkogo district, Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State.

In a social media post, Babangida Wassa Kudodo, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chairmanship aspirant in the upcoming November 1 local government election, who is a close ally of the state governor, condemned the attack, describing it as evidence of the worsening security breakdown across Shiroro and neighbouring communities.

He wrote, “A 13 year old Hasiya A Bawa from Kudodo village hospitalized after 3 bandits raped her all at once on her way back from the market with her senior brother Rabiu A Bawa.”

“The renewed activities of banditry in Lakpma axis, Shiroro LG, Niger state is seriously alarming,” he added.

On Thursday, the state police command confirmed that 10 people were kidnapped in Shiroro Local Government Area of the state.

The attack came less than a week after gunmen abducted more than 300 students and teachers from St. Mary’s Catholic School in Papiri, Niger State, last Friday.

The state police command public relations officer Wasiu Abiodun said security agencies were intensifying efforts to rescue the victims and restore safety in the affected areas.

The incident adds to growing concerns about insecurity in Shiroro and other parts of the state.

“On November 26, 2025, at about 8pm, a report was received indicating that suspected armed men abducted about ten persons from Angwan-Kawo and Kuchipa villages of Shiroro Local Government Area,” Abiodun said while confirming the incident.

“Effort is being made to rescue the victims.”

Sometimes sarcasm is not appropriate. It's better to just pass when you see certain posts than bringing in humour.
