The Secretary of the Security Committee in Wasagu, Lawali Umar, who confirmed the incident, stated that the bandits ambushed victims working on their guinea corn farms and took them hostage.

Sixteen persons have been abducted by bandits in Bena village and surrounding areas in the Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State.

The Secretary of the Security Committee in Wasagu, Lawali Umar, who confirmed the incident to Channels TV stated that the bandits ambushed victims working on their guinea corn farms and took them hostage.

Umar said that in a separate recent attack, bandits raided Tudun Wada area, abducting six people.

Responding, army personnel engaged the bandits in a gunfight, successfully repelling the attack and rescuing the six abducted individuals.

While some of the 16 originally kidnapped managed to escape, approximately nine are still being held, with the bandits demanding an undisclosed ransom.

Umar appealed to the Kebbi State Government to reinforce security in key vulnerable areas, particularly Yar Maitaba, Mai Rai Rai, and Tungar Sabo, which he described as known strongholds for the bandits.

“We commend the state government’s efforts against banditry, but with the guinea corn harvest season upon us, our farmers need better security,
” he urged.
