Bandits Kill Four, Burn Homes and Loot Livestock in Niger State as Wawa Community Comes Under Fresh Attack.
Bandits have launched another deadly attack on Wawa community in Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State, killing four residents, burning homes and a church, and carting away villagers’ livestock in a violent raid that has deepened fear across the area.
According to local sources, the assailants struck Damala village near the Woko–Daba mining axis between 8:00pm and 8:30pm, catching residents off guard. Eyewitnesses said the attackers moved swiftly, setting houses ablaze, killing civilians, and escaping into surrounding forests with stolen animals before any help could arrive.
Survivors described scenes of terror as families fled burning homes while others mourned loved ones lost in the assault. Community members say the absence of security personnel has left the area exposed to repeated attacks, forcing residents to abandon farms, churches, and daily activities out of fear.
A community leader, Comrade Zakari Y. Adamu, appealed to state and federal authorities for urgent intervention, warning that without immediate deployment of security forces, more communities in Niger State could face similar bloodshed.
The latest attack highlights the worsening security crisis in Nigeria’s rural and mining regions, where forested terrain continues to provide safe routes for armed groups. As residents demand action, concerns grow that violence may spread if authorities fail to respond decisively.
