Niger State's Acting Governor urges army to redeploy troops after 13 killed in bandit attack.

Niger State's Acting Governor Yakubu Garba has urged the Nigerian Army to redeploy troops to vulnerable communities following a deadly bandit attack that killed 13 people in the state. The victims were ambushed by bandits while traveling to their farms in Anguwan village. Garba claims that the withdrawal of troops from Allawa and other communities has weakened the government's efforts to combat insecurity in the state. The Niger State government has implemented security strategies to enhance travel on key roads within Shiroro, but recent attacks highlight the ongoing challenges in ensuring safety for displaced farmers returning to their communities.
