Another group of armed bandits is currently present in Kumbashi, Kakihum, Maburya and other communities, located in the Mariga Local Government Area of Niger State. Reports reaching this blog indicate that the bandits began gathering yesterday evening to plan renewed attacks on surrounding communities. It will be recalled that about a week ago, the same group of bandits attacked Rijau town in Rijau Local Government Area, looting valuables and killing several residents. They were also reported to have targeted other communities in the vicinity. Although the bandits were intercepted by Nigerian armed forces between Makuku and Dankolo villages in Kebbi State—where several were believed to have been neutralized and stolen cattle recovered—their recent activity may be a retaliatory move following their earlier defeat. Authorities are urgently called upon to intervene and provide security support to these communities before the situation escalates further.
