No fewer than 26 travellers were kidnapped on Tuesday by terrorists, locally dubbed as bandits, who blocked the Gusau-Sokoto highway in the North-West region of Nigeria.

This was confirmed by a resident of one of the communities close to the scene of the attack during a conversation with journalists.

It was learnt that the terrorists blocked the road around Kwaren Kirya village under Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State and abducted all the engers from a Toyota 18-seater bus and a Volkswagen golf vehicle.

“As I’m talking to you now, about 30 minutes ago, these bandits blocked another side of the road. They cleared the engers of an 18 seater bus and a golf, the situation is worrisome because it has become an everyday thing for these people to be blocking the road,” the source was quoted by Channels TV.

He voiced the alarm about a village, Balge along the highway, claiming that it harbours suspected bandits.

The source urged the authorities to set up security stations in the area to monitor the criminals' actions.

He continued: “There is a village when you that Kwaren Kirya called Balge, about 80% of settlers in that village are bandits.”

“There was a time they were chased out of the place but a majority of the people there were bandits. We just need government to help us and station military around the area.”

Police authorities in the state are yet to comment on the latest incident.

I think it's best we regionalise this country..
To curtail all these kidnapping and insecurity issue..

If done properly , the Federal Government in collaboration with the Regional security can easily Beam it's touch light to the affected region, there by reducing insecurity to it's barest minimum.

I'm not surprised at all... Hunger, hardship, poverty, unemployment, bad and corrupt leadership and insecurity is the new normal but they're making mistakes attacking and kidnapping innocent people, people that can barely feed three times a day. Mtcheeew...

Wetin dey happen oo

What is Tinubu govt even capable of doing?

Where are the security officers? Nothing is funny in Nigeria anymore.

Omg
We need to hire foreign macineries to combat these people. I think they are now becoming invincible and getting bolder day by day.

President Tinubu, please employ Macineries from Niger Republic to combat them, then let's come back to discuss it in 6 months

They will charge in US dollars and food.

Nothing will make me travel out of South East to other part of this Country by road ..if I can't afford air tickets..I stay in my area patapata....the insecurity is getting out of hand like seriously and our politicians have allocated the few security operatives that should fight crimes among themselves...

Tinubus children carry several armed DSS personnel around to protect themselves, they have appealed to Nigerians to pls bear all these kidnapping and suffering that is necessary n order to reap a good reward in future.

, do you agree?

If Nigerian army strike that Balge village with drones armed with bombs, everybody and the media will say Nigerian army is wicked and are genocidal in their missions. The survivors when receiving condolences from government officials will be seen as harmless Nigerians in pitiable hospital beds but are indeed bandits and when in operation and terrorist sympathizers

Kidnap dem dia fada

Nawa.... One day kidnappers will kidnap another set of kidnappers..... Seems kidnappers are now more in number.... Tinubu weldon oo
