Terrorists attack Niger community, abduct 31 villagers

In a statement signed by the senator, he said that five out of the nine local government areas in his senatorial zone are under siege from terrorists pointing out that the economic lives of the people which is farming have been destroyed and have increased food crisis and hunger in the area.He said: “The latest attack and act of terrorism targeted at the people of my constituency, Niger East Senatorial Zone by these criminal elements is inhuman, wicked, and unacceptable.

“I seriously feel the pains of my people, it is very sad to see people being forced out of their homes without committing any crime. My people are helpless and the authority must act immediately to restore normalcy in the community.” The senator warned that if the current escalation of the activities of the terrorists in Niger state and other parts of the country are not urgently addressed, it is capable of frustrating the food security programme of the present administration.

He added: “If the people are not allowed to go to their farms because of insecurity, how do we achieve the food security agenda of the present administration? I strongly believe that the time to act is now, and that is why I am appealing that this situation must be tackled with all seriousness it deserves for the good of Nigeria and Nigerians.”
