Nigeria: Bandits Kill 84 in Two Weeks, Buhari Expresses Sorrow
|
 [All Africa] No fewer than 84 people have been killed by suspected bandidos in the last two weeks across the country.
Worst hit are Kaduna and Xamfara States. The situation forced President Muhammadu Buhari to express sorrow.
For some time now, Nigeria has been a hotbed of conflicts. Apart from the perennial conflict between the farmers and herdsmen, there are other notable security challenges, including one posed by bandidos.
Recently, in the North-West, particularly Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina, Kaduna and Kebbi States, the activities of bandidos have been particularly alarming.
The activities of the bandidos' range from kidnapping to murder, robbery, rape, cattle-rustling and the likes. Their modus operandi involves maiming and killing victims with little or no provocations.
For example, on Thursday, 42 people were massacred by bandidos in five communities of Faru District in Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
