Bandits Strikes Again In Kagara
Bandits have resumed operations in Kagara, Niger state on the same day that 42 students and other persons they kidnapped from a school in the town regained fredom.
No fewer than four persons were on Saturday reportedly killed and scores kidnapped in fresh attacks on the town and adjoining villages in Rafi Local Government Area of the state.
According to Musa Kwabe, a community leader in Kagara, eight persons were kidnapped in Kundu and 11 others in nearby Gunna district.
It was learnt that throughout the operation that lasted four hours there was no security intervention despite the fact that more policemen were drafted to the area as a result of the kidnap of the Kagara students.
A source said, “Within a week they have abducted more people than the people abducted from GSC Kagara, the attack today was bloody.”
Attempts to get police confirmation proved abortive as the line of the police spokesman, Niger state Command, Abiodun Wasiu, could not be reached.
