Bandits on Thursday carried out a deadly raid in Ringa village, located in the Ringa District of Rafi Local Government Area in Niger State, kidnapping four individuals.
The large group of bandits riding on motorcycles invaded the village on April 18, 2025, at about 10.00hrs.
During the attack, the assailants abducted four men Anas Shuaibu, Isah Kazuga, Mande Samari, and Bazama Kiwoji who were all residents of the village.
In addition to the kidnapping, Zagazola Makama said the bandits set fire to the village’s electricity transformer, plunging the community into darkness.
They also stole four unregistered Bajaj motorcycles that had been abandoned by their owners, who fled in fear for their lives.
Security forces are currently conducting intensive operations in a bid to rescue the kidnapped victims and apprehend the perpetrators of the attack.
