Governor Abubakar Sani Bello of Niger State has raised an alarm saying that the bandits are gradually sacking the villages in the state.
According to him, the bandits have to increase the population of Internally displaced Persons in the various camps across the state.
Bello alarmed that in the past three days, there had been more influx of more displaced persons from Chiro, Kuchi and Guni to IDP Camp in Gwada.
The Governor, while empathizing with the displaced persons, said security efforts were being intensified to bring an enduring solution to the incessant attacks by the bandits.
“Government is not unmindful of the precarious situation you found yourselves in as we are making frantic efforts to intervene and ensure that your communities are rid of those criminal elements and made safe for your return,” he remarked.
