 Bandits kill 13 farmers in Niger


Gunmen suspected to be bandits have killed 13 persons on their farms at the Ijuwa fringes of the Alawa community of the Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State.

The LGA Chairman, Akilu Isyaku, who confirmed the killing in Minna on Wednesday, said the bandits shot nine of the victims to death while four others were killed at a different location the same day.

A resident who spoke to newsmen said the bandits targeted the community over allegations that members supplied intelligence to security agencies on bandits’ movements.

Meanwhile, Niger State acting Governor Yakubu Garba described the attack as satanic and callous.

In a statement, Garba condoled with the affected families, community members, and the entire people of Shiroro LGA over the unfortunate incident.

The attack reportedly occurred at a time when farmers were expected to spend more time on their farms.

It was gathered that several other farmers far away from the scene of the attack had deserted their farmland for fear of attack.
