Bandits have launched yet another deadly assault on Niger State, abducting 24 people — including a pregnant woman — and mutilating a blind resident in separate attacks within the same local government area.
The latest incident occurred on Wednesday in Palaita community, Erena Local Government Area, where armed men stormed a farmland while labourers were harvesting crops.
Witnesses said the attackers rounded up the workers and whisked them away into the bush. Among those taken was a heavily pregnant woman.
In a separate invasion within the same local government area, the criminals reportedly cut off the arm of a blind man after he allegedly failed to “cooperate” with their demands.
Residents say the renewed attacks have heightened fear across surrounding communities, with calls mounting for urgent government intervention
