9 Farmers Reportedly Killed, Six Kidnapped As Bandits Launch Attack In Niger Villages

A fresh attack by bandits in Karaga village, Bassa Ward, in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State has left nine farmers dead.

Residents of the community who recounted the ordeal said that the attackers carted away numerous cattle in the Farin-Doki community, also within Shiroro LGA.

β€œSo far, nine bodies have been recovered, but we cannot confirm if there are more casualties. Vigilantes are still searching the bushes for additional remains,” a resident who pleaded anonymity said.
