Scary robbers, called bandits, are making people in Garam, Niger State, very scared. On Saturday morning, they came back and took a pregnant woman and four other people.
Before this, the people in Garam had faced many attacks by these bad people from December 2023 to February 2024.
Because of these attacks, security officers were sent to help the community, and things got a little better for a while.
But early on Saturday morning, the bandits came back and scared everyone again.
Garam is close to another place called Kuduru, which is next to Bwari Area Council in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
One person who lives in Garam, who didn’t want to say their name, said that the bandits came at 3 AM on Saturday. They went straight to the home of the people they wanted to take.
The person said the bandits did not make any noise because they didn’t want the security officers to hear them.
“We heard they came at 3 AM. They took five people, including a pregnant woman with her child and husband. They broke into the house by forcing the door open. They were very quiet and did not shoot any guns like they usually do,” said the person.
