On Saturday morning, terrorists once again struck the community of Garam in Niger State, kidnapping a pregnant woman and four other individuals.
The residents had already endured a series of attacks from bandits between December 2023 and February 2024.
In response to these attacks, security personnel were deployed to the area, offering a brief period of peace.
However, this tranquility was shattered early Saturday morning when the bandits returned.
Garam, which borders Kuduru, another community in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), witnessed the latest attack.
According to an anonymous resident, the bandits arrived at 3 am and directly targeted the victims’ home for the abduction.
To avoid alerting security forces, the assailants refrained from shooting in the air.
“We learnt that they came at 3 am. They kidnapped five people including a pregnant woman alongside her child and husband.
“They forced their way into the building by forcing the door open. They came silently without shooting any gun like they used to do,” the source said.
