Bandits Flee Zamfara Attacks, Dominate Sokoto

Some bandits from Zamfara disclosed that they have fled Zamfara state to set up presence in Bullazu and Gangara villages of Sabon Birni local area of Sokoto state in anticipation of troops from neighbouring Niger Republic, coming to assist their Nigerian counterparts to help curtail the menace ravaging the area.

There has been escalation of bandits’ attacks on Sabon Birni, and neighbouring local governments recently, including one on a military base at Burkusuma where at least 15 personnel were killed, and many others injured last weekend.

Tantabara News confirmed from sources that the attack was carried out by gunmen from the gangs of notorious bandits’ leader, Turji, with others loyal to Halilu Sububu.

The two bandits’ kingpins operate around Zurmi and Shinkafi, two local governments bordering Sabon Birni.

The Defence Headquarters in a statement on Monday confirmed the attack but attributed it to forces from the jihadist’s Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP).

One of the arrowheads of the bandits, Shehu Rekeb, claimed responsibility for the last weekend’s attack on the Nigerian security forces.

Rekeb said some security personnel kidnapped by the attackers were being held by the bandits.

He said Turji led his men to launch the attack in order to take position around the border town to avert any incursion by the Nigerien troops who, he said, were preparing to move in to support the push against the bandits operating in the area.

"It is said Niger is coming through there to support Nigeria; that is why we said the boys should go there to monitor,” he said.

He asked Nigerien President Mahamed Bazoum to stay out of what he described as a “family affair” and Nigeria’s internal affairs, warning that the bandits would begin to launch attacks on the Nigerien side.

On the claim that ISWAP was responsible for the attack, Rekeb said: “They know the attack was done by Fulani boys. They know them all. Many of their men were taken away; if they call them, they know who answers them.”

Gunmen Abducted 11 FAAN Staff In Kaduna

A group of gunmen yesterday attacked the residences of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria Kaduna. Reports say gunmen stormed the compound and abducted at least 11 people. Recent reports suggest that the bandits also abducted a staff of Nigerian Airspace Management Agency NAMA, his wife, a National Meteorological Agency (NIMET) official and his children.Their whereabouts are still unknown. Kidnappings are common in Nigeria today, and almost every morning there are reports of killings or kidnappings for ransom. Last week Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari vowed to end abduction in Nigeria but for all indications his words were not effective.

The Nigerian Governors Forum Describe The Militant Attack On Benue State Governor As Shocking

The Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) has described the militant attack on the Benue State governor as "shocking" and "scary". Governor Samuel Ortom's delegation was attacked by gunmen on Saturday on the Makurdi-Gboko road, when he visited his farm. In a statement issued by the group's chairman and Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi on Sunday, the NGF congratulated Ortom for the escape from the attack which it said was "scary and offensive". Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu also condemned the attack and ordered that security be beefed up on the governor and an investigation launched. "The NGF has said in a loud voice that efforts to rehabilitate Benue State will not succeed," the statement said. "One of the relatives of a former governor of the state was recently killed. This kind of act of violence must be stopped for whatever reason to kill the people of Benue."
