More than 200 terrorists have attacked communities in Niger State’s Kontagora, Mariga, and Rijau local government areas.
In a convoy of about 100 motorcycles, they stormed the areas and killed children in Bangi, a village in Mariga LGA.
The attackers vandalized, burned, and looted a number of homes and businesses, stealing at least 250 cows along the way.
The well-armed criminals operated “freely,” as they had done in previous invasions.
“In addition to sacking Argida, Babugadi, Warari, Birnin Boga, Mogola, and others, they also massacred small children at Bangi.”
“The bandits rustled 250 cattle, which they moved to the dense Maonda forest,” he revealed.
According to a military intelligence officer, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) was unable to conduct aerial bombardments due to bad weather.
He stated that pilots are wary of severe weather conditions caused by hazy weather, such as intense storms, poor visibility, and high turbulence.
“They strictly adhere to the metrological warnings on the deterioration of horizontal visibility caused by a noticeable advection of dust, which comes with associated risks and dangers,” the officer continued.
