Kabba-Bunu Residents Protest Rising Insecurity in Kogi West

Nigeria News Today: Residents of Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area in Kogi West Senatorial District on Friday staged a protest over the worsening security situation in the area, calling on authorities to take urgent action.

The protesters, who turned out in large numbers, expressed deep concern over the increasing activities of bandits in the region, alleging that several indigenes have been abducted and are currently being held hostage.

According to the demonstrators, persistent attacks and fear of kidnapping have forced many communities to abandon their homes, leaving several villages partially or completely deserted.

They appealed to the federal and state governments to intervene decisively, warning that continued neglect of the situation could further destabilise the area and deepen humanitarian concerns.

“Our people are living in fear, and many communities have been forced to flee their homes because of constant attacks,” one of the protesters said.

The residents stressed that immediate security intervention is required to restore peace and prevent the situation from escalating beyond control.

As reported by The Bureau News, the protest adds to growing calls across Kogi State for improved security measures in rural communities.

Security challenges in parts of Nigeria have continued to draw national attention, with similar concerns highlighted in broader reports by international media such as Reuters and BBC, underscoring the urgency of coordinated responses.

Residents said they would continue to demand protection of lives and property until lasting peace is restored in Kabba-Bunu and other affected communities in Kogi West.

If the whole table is turned
Genocide on the Fulanis would be inevitable
It is going to be bloody
I hope it doesn't happen in Jesus name

The innocent don't have to suffer because of some people's greed and evil.

I'm trying to process why some people choose violence over peace.

Sacking people from their ancestral lands and renaming them.

Nigerians need to wake up.

Join ADC, that is the only sustainable way to stop this terrorist and kidnapping madness in Nigeria today.


People should stop sitting on the fence, join the political movement for the greater good of all of us.


ACP and Tinubu have failed you guys, stop waiting for those that have no solution to offer you solution they don't have.

They are trying to fight an ideology, if only they know what they are up against, they will change strategy, sadly some of them still support the ideology that is killing them without even knowing it, some know but believe the support is more important than their lives...

If I talk now Seun go ban me
The whole country should come out and protest, enough is enough, without the citizens there's no president ,
Problem with Nigerian presidents is they think they own Nigeria,
The day citizens will come as one, that day u will know Nigeria doesn't belong to a particular tribe,

If you can target the terrorist that's fine. If you can't, is better to seek independence from Arewa that's the best you can do.

Why do some people have a habit of recycling old News?

Is there a hidden agenda behind it?

We know when they protested over a week ago and you were not interested then.
In fact many of your people heaped insults on us
