Niger State has been the hotbed of banditry activities in the North-central zone of the country, making many farmers confined to the Internally Displaced

The SGF explained that the state government has also realised that the conventional security architecture cannot protect vulnerable communities from attacks by bandits.

“Not easy but they have to return to farms. The new efforts seem to be working for now but we need support from the nation’s security architecture. For the men on the farms, it is like working in a burning fire but we must survive, what is provided for us here is not enough to sustain our daily needs,” Aliyu said.

She said banditry is one of the major problems confronting the production and marketing of cattle and food production in the state. In all, the position of Mrs Salisu corroborated the fear of the state government that some communities may be intimidated by the bandits to pay them money. Since the beginning of this month, the bandits have launched attacks in communities along Shiroro, Munya, and parts of Paikoro Local government areas.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Niger State Command Wasiu Abiodun said the police remain undeterred. The PPRO said the victims were rescued unhurt by the team and taken to the hospital for medical attention. He said the two motorcycles were equally recovered. The PPRO said burnt motorcycles were equally recovered from their camp, as efforts were on to apprehend other members of the gang terrorising the communities.

Also, on 15 May, 2022 at about 7:00 am he said information was received that suspected armed bandits were sighted at Zazagha and Injita villages of Munya local government area.
