In Niger and many other states in North-central and North-west Nigeria, bandits kill and kidnap at will despite the efforts of security agencies to check the menace.They said on some days, people would leave their houses at night to avoid the risk of abduction. But even taking such precautions did not often guarantee safety.A day before the attack on Government Science College, bandits killed the district head of Kushirki, a town about 20 kilometres from Kagara.
The household of the murdered district head relocated to Minna, the state capital, after the incident, Mr Hussein added. With no obstruction at the security post and at the partially opened gate, one would have thought the hospital was open to patients any time of the day. But nobody was found in the facility that sunny afternoon.“They have not been around for weeks,” a dark-skinned woman wearing a multi-coloured scarf told our reporter.
Yunusa Acha, a resident who sells agro-chemicals, said his business has been badly affected by the security crisis.“Those who took the risk of going to farm could not harvest. Their produce has been burnt. Now, when bandits come to your place and they don’t get anything, they burn the house.” “All these while, no bandits have been arrested. Instead, they arrest the vigilantes. Once they kill bandits, it becomes a problem. It is as if they are there to protect the bandits and not the people.”“Our people do not have guns while these people are using AK-47. Before the vigilante can think of loading his gun again, these bandits have fired several shots,” Mr Kwabe said.
Nice report. However, I didn't see any efforts from the state government in tackling this menace or are they waiting for FG
what is the way forward in this country?
And they pretended they weren't aware.

'All these while, no bandits have been arrested. Instead, they arrest the vigilantes. Once they kill bandits, it becomes a problem. It is as if they are there to protect the bandits and not the people.”|| Can you guess who they're referring to here? This thing is unbelievable.
.....and some PDP 'shiek' is clamouring for amnesty for these murderous criminals.
