My People under siege, Senator Musa cries out

Residents of Shiroro Local Government Area in Niger State came under heavy attacks this morning when armed bandits in numbers invade the villages of Kudodo, Galapai, Dnakpala, Makera and Dnalagwa killing scores, raping and abducting people. In what seems to be coordinated attacks, adjoining villages like Amale, Tunga and Adunu in Paikoro Local Government were not spared, as the bandits left on their heels more deaths, destruction and abduction.

The senator representing Niger East, Senator Mohammed Sani Musa who earlier this week cried out to President Muhammadu Buhari over the spate of increasing killings by bandits in his constituency in an emotionally laden voice told newsmen the helpless situation in his constituency as the bandits wreak unimaginable havoc on the people with no security succour in sight.

‘My people are under seige,Innocent families have been displaced, killed, raped, kidnapped and community members straddled in a state of despair. As the attacks continued more villagers in my constituency are awaiting their fate as no sign of succour comes their way. It is confirmed that the bandits are attacking all through the night to this afternoon and most communities are in grave danger. For months now, most local government in Niger East have been under the menacing grip of bandits with no succour in sight. We are again calling on Mr President and all the service Chiefs to come to our aid without further delay as the people risk continued attacks from these ungodly killers. ‘ He bemoaned.

The senator also called on the National Emergency Management Agency and other relevant authorities to respond to the plight of his people who are helplessly in state of fear and despair.
