Terrorists have reportedly killed 13 persons on their farms in the Anguwan Mai-Giro community of Shiroro LGA in Niger state.
In a statement, Yakubu Garba, deputy governor of Niger, described the attack as “satanic, insensible, atrocious and callous”.
Garba said it is “utterly appalling and deeply disturbing” to see people perpetrate such “barbaric and vicious act” against fellow humans.
The deputy governor expressed condolences to the grieving families, residents, and the Shiroro community.
He added that the state government remains resolute in its quest to restore peace and security across Niger.
