Bandits Kill 9 Abductees In Niger

Published:

Nine of the 50 people abducted from Madaka Market in Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State have reportedly been murdered by their kidnappers.

Allub Times learned that in addition to the 22 individuals previously killed during the attack, nine more abducted persons have been slain.

The victims, mostly women, were taken last Thursday and were being taken to the nearby forest of the Allawa area when the bandits carried out the brutal killings.

According to Madaka’s district head, Isah Bawale Madaka, seven people were killed in Kukoki village while moving towards the forest, with two more individuals losing their lives along the way.

He said, “In Kukoki village while going into the forest around Shiroro local government area of Niger State, they killed seven people and killed additional two people while moving towards the forest.”

Madaka mentioned that more than 30 bodies have already been buried, leading to questions about the bandits’ motives as they have not asked for ransom for the kidnapped individuals.

He explained that he has been monitoring the bandits’ movements in order to protect the abducted people.

The Emir of Kalgara, Alhaji Ahmed Attahiru Gunna, and Hon Ismaila Modibbo, the representative of Rafi/Shiroro/Munya Federal Constituency, visited the injured victims to provide assistance and sympathy.
