A survivor of the recent bandit attack on Salka
community in Niger State has shared a chilling account of his encounter
with the assailants, revealing that the attackers argued among themselves
before shooting him.
“While they were confronting me, one of the bandits
told his colleague not to shoot, but he went ahead and pulled the trigger,” the
victim recounted. “Before I was finally shot, I tried to hold him, but they
overpowered me. They later left me behind.”
Another resident was also shot during the raid and has
since been transferred to Yawuri General Hospital in Kebbi State for
medical treatment.
Gunmen on motorcycles
Residents who managed to hide during the raid said
they secretly recorded video clips showing the gunmen storming the community on
motorcycles, firing sporadically, and fleeing with stolen cattle.
The attack, which targeted Salka and neighboring
villages including Ibeto and Koso, has reignited calls for urgent
intervention from both the Niger State Government and the Federal
Government to curb worsening insecurity in the region.
