Meanwhile, Niger State Governor Abubakar Sani Bello has declared that bandit terrorists have been silenced across twelve local councils of the state.

Naija News recalls that Governor Bello had earlier made a public announcement that terrorist groups including the dreaded Boko Haram, bandits and kidnappers have taken over at least 12 LGAs in the state.

He lamented the situation and assured residents of his government’s commitment to deal with the situation with the help of security agencies.

However, while addressing journalists in Abuja last week, Governor Bello said security has been beefed up in the affected areas and locals would be able to return to their homes soon.

According to him, the presence of security operatives in the affected local government areas have significantly reduced the attacks except for isolated cases in the councils.

Bello said: “I am optimistic that before the rains sets in, the menace would be addressed to enable our people go back to their homes and to their farms.”
