JUST IN: If You’re In This State, Run Now Or You’ll Die; SEE Message Terrorists Sent To Villagers
In a shocking incident, suspected terrorists have ordered the residents of M. I Wushishi Estate in Minna, the capital of Niger State, to vacate the estate or risk being killed. The attackers reportedly invaded the estate when most of the male residents were away at work, damaging cars and breaking the windows of several houses.
According to a resident who spoke to Punch Newspaper on the condition of anonymity, the attack occurred after residents had reported their concerns to a local police station.
The resident expressed fear and frustration, saying, ” These guys told us that they were coming for us, and they came. They came after most men had gone to work. Many top civil servants, including directors and permanent secretaries, live in the estate. ”
The fear of further attacks has already led to several residents fleeing the estate. The resident added, ” I know of many people who have moved out of the estate this evening for fear of the attacks. Nowhere is safe in the state. If bandits and terrorists are not chasing people from their homes, it is hoodlums and miners. Where is the government for the sake of Allah? ”
The Niger State Police Command confirmed the attack. Wasiu Abiodun, the police spokesman, stated that peace had been restored to the estate. In his words, ” On 02/09/2024 at about 1400hrs, a distress call was received that suspected illegal miners, miscreants/thugs engaged in a fight and were attacking houses at M. I Wushishi Estate, Minna. Police patrol teams led by DPO Maitumbi moved to the scene and the miscreants were dispersed. ”
