An unidentified military plane has killed a woman, while two others were seriously injured in Kwaki Village in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State. The incident occurred on Friday morning when the people were preparing to head to the farm. Although the identity of the fighter jet could not be ascertained as at the time of filing this report, a source close to the community said a fighter jet has been bombing the hideouts of bandits in the area since Tuesday. Our source also disclosed that a fighter jet destroyed a building under construction in Boresina village. The building is said to belong to the notorious warlord, Dog Gede.
It was further gathered that the two injured persons from the bombing have been evacuated to a government medical facility in Minna, the state capital.
Meanwhile, as the fighter jet continues to pound suspected bandits’ locations in Shiroro, there was mass exodus of the gunmen to neighbouring Munya Local Government Area of the state. A reliable source close to the community told Saturday Sun that the bandits were relocating to Tshohon Kabula village in Munya Local Government, where our correspondent exclusively reported last week that they have established a camp from where they launched attacks on surrounding villages.
“Throughout Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night, gunmen have continued to cross over Kusasu River to Wurukuchi, as they moved towards Tshohon Kabula. “They have a base at Tshohon Kabula because when they migrate from Kaduna through Mangoro village, which is their permanent route, they go straight to Tshohon Kabula. I can confirm to you that they have a camp in that village,” our source said Attempt by our correspondent to reach the Chairman of Shiroro Local Government Council, Akilu Isyaku Kuta, to confirm the incident was not successful, as his mobile phone could not be reached.
