Barely 24 hours after the attack on Government Science College Kagara by bandits, some communities in Gurmana Ward of Shiroro local government area of Niger have been attacked, killing several persons and abducted over 30 persons.
The attack occurred at about 6 pm on Wednesday.
The Nation reports that the bandits who rode on motorcycles and shooting sporadically, attacked Sarkin Zama, Bakin Kogi (Lagbe), Siyiko and other adjoining communities.
The communities were still taking stock to know the certain deaths and the identity of people abducted.
The Co-convener, Concerned Shiroro Youths, Sani Abubakar Kokki, who confirmed the attack, said the injured villagers were taken to health facilities around the communities for medical attention.
Kokki lamented the local government council have been having countless deadly attacks daily, which have compelled residents to live in fear and at the mercy of the bandits.
Efforts made to reach the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Wasiu Abiodun were not successful as he was not picking his calls.
