Armed bandits have killed six persons in Tungan-Makeri and set a police station ablaze in the nearby Konkoso district, both in Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State.

Police authorities in Niger State said the incident occurred at about 3:00 a.m on Saturday when armed men invaded Tunga-Makeri village through Shafachi District in Borgu LGA.

The police spokesman in the state, Wasiu Abiodun, said that several houses were set ablaze by the assailants. According to him, an unspecified number of residents were abducted in the course of the attack.

The attack on Tungan Makeri reportedly began on Friday, when over 200 armed men stormed the village, shooting sporadically and setting several houses on fire.

Residents claim the assailants operated for hours, leaving six people dead and many others displaced.

An eyewitness from Zagatina village, along the attackers’ route, said he counted dozens of motorcycles conveying the armed men.

“They passed through my village, and I counted about 41 motorcycles, with two or three persons on each, including women and children on some,” the resident said.

“I quickly hid myself in the bush when I noticed them coming because they passed through the back of my house.”

Following the assault on Tungan Makeri, the bandits were said to have moved into Konkoso on Saturday morning, where they reportedly operated without a visible security presence.

Residents described Tungan-Makeri and Konkoso as major towns in Borgu LGA, heightening concerns over the attackers’ growing boldness.

There were also reports that an Air Force aircraft was sighted around Tungan Makeri after the initial attack, a development some residents believe forced the bandits to withdraw from the village.

Meanwhile, joint security teams have been mobilised to the affected communities for on-the-spot assessment, while efforts to rescue the abducted victims and restore normalcy are ongoing.

The incident has once again raised concerns over security in parts of Borgu LGA, with residents calling for urgent reinforcement to prevent further attacks.

People are being killed daily, but Tinubu is hell bent in securing 2027. Let me laugh is Sweto.

The President does not understand the crisis bedevilling Nigeria as a whole.
I need someone to explain the reason why Nigeria deploys 3000 police to stop election rigging but fail to deploy such in tackling terrorism in every state...

I hate Nigerian polithiefcians with all my life
People who occupied Nigeria in 2012 were given the steering and guess what.
They can't even start the vehicle.
Shame on Tinubu.
May it reach any one who supports him.

It's not six, I heard they beheaded close to thirty people in that attack

Truth can't be covered. Tinubu is a failure. Cast your mind back all they said and did under GEJ.

Wild wild North. They will soon be absorbed in the military as repentant bandits.
Nah only God go continue to Dey punish buhari even in afterlife

Boko Haram has taken over Niger State 🤷🏿📌💯

That's the modus operandi.
Kidnapping, burning security post, soliciting of support from locals, attacking churches/christians and Muslims who oppose their styles.

There is something more than meets the eye regarding the insecurity in Nigeria.
There is active terrorism going on in Nigeria and tinubu is just pretending as if all is well.even Jonathan voiced out that terrorists had infiltrated his government at a time.

It is Now glaring and getting clearer -that Some Northern leaders are being uncomfortable and possibly behind the Insecurity in their Areas,
Since they are being Exposed,so they are quite to Condemn Evil of Terrorism, and Kidnappers Operations in there States.
How is it now that they have been exposed?
Why should Fulani-terrorists been Carrying Guns Ak47 and Weapons,under the guise that they are keeping their Cows and Animals?

Too much killings in the north

But say anything about that reason they are been killed, the same people been killed will start criticizing you,saying you are against their same problem

The master strategist is working tirelessly. The blind can see it, the deaf can hear it.
E lo fokan bale.
Tinubu aka city boy till 2088.
Ndi ala.

Niger state is less 1/4 of Texas in America
tinubu isn't ready to fight insecurity but mostly concerned about far 2027 election which he never knew he might not live to witness.
APC is evil

How about the 32 farmers killed in Niger state.

Tag your President, he was in a festival enjoying the catch of big fish 🐟 with a big wa ohh symbol.
Nigeria is bleeding bad and some Politicians do not bloody care.
Rest in Peace 🕯️ to the dead
