Around 300 suspected bandits on motorcycles, armed with sophisticated weapons, were spotted crossing the Kontagora–Minna highway between Kampanin Bobby and Wamba in Mariga Local Government Area of Niger State.

The incident occurred in the afternoon and prompted motorists and travellers to seek safety.

According to eyewitnesses, the bandits, believed to be coming from Zamfara State, moved freely towards Mashegu Local Government Area without encountering security operatives.

A driver noted the absence of security presence during the incident.

The chairman of Mariga Local Government, Abbas Kasuwa Garba, when ed, confirmed the incident and revealed that t security teams have been dispatched to the area to protect the communities.

He also disclosed that two vigilantes from Wamba who confronted the bandits were killed, and one injured person is undergoing treatment.

It was further gathered that military officers stationed at Beri camp have been mobilised to confront the criminals.

Efforts to reach the state police command through the Public Relations Officer, SP Wasiu Abiodun, were not successful as of the time of filing this report.

It's normal business for them in d north.....yet d whole of southeast, u see almost road blocks everywhere like d war in d north is a child's play..... Nigeria is never serious with security issues sha ....

...... impossible

This is deeply troubling. The fact that 300 armed bandits could move so freely in broad daylight without encountering any security presence is alarming. This is the reason the why the security system need stronger intelligence gathering, quicker response systems, and better coordination among themselves. My heart goes out to the families of the fallen vigilantes. They are the true heroes trying to defend their communities even with limited resources.

@desmond
This people are protected by 9ja government

The real owners of Nigeria

Tinubu don't care , It is Nnamdi kanu that's his problem .

Their problem is VDM

This is not important…

Hmm and the so called chief security officer of niger state hardly stay in the state for 2 days, Niger state governor is just flexing with tax payers money anyhow

90% insecurity problems have been solved - Nuhu Ribadu.

This guys have guts but to be honest I won't blame them, this is happening bcuz our security service chiefs n personnel has been compromised for a long time. There's freedom of crime in the northern part of Nigeria.

Kotangora is where you have the Nigerian army artillery corps. For them to cross that area in daylight only means they now own the place. I remeber telling ronukus to stop the ethnic rhetoric and unite the south but their hate for igbos blinded them, now they have unleashed the GEJ OTP playbook on Tinubu. Pls tinuhu come and be going since you are not able to secure the country

SHITman will handle security, while THIEFNIBU Baban Baban BARAWOO will handle the economy.

In broad daylight?
And we have a government?

One single military helicopter will finish off these guys, just one.

But all our security leaders know how to do is line up at the airport to receive the President.

Where are they coming from, who is arming them

bandits carry go... vdm is the problem

Maybe APC have started importing them from only God knows where against 2027 election

Nigerian security operatives are very very busy with VeryDarkMan.

This is why they don't want an igbo man to be the president cos we can't tolerate this nonsense

They're hunters 😜

Imagine terrorists a.k.a bandits moving freely without confrontation from our so called security agencies.

All our police officers don go hide inside bush. But if dem see innocent man wey dey do him legit hustle, all of dem go jump come out like London rats 🐀 begin harassment.
