Veiled bandits strike Niger community, shoot woman in botched abduction

Armed bandits disguised in veils attacked Tudun-Fulani village near Bangi in Niger State, shooting a woman during a failed abduction attempt, authorities confirmed on Monday.

The attack occurred on November 29 at about 10 p.m. when six armed men stormed the community and targeted a resident, Hadiza Alhaji Mande.

She was shot while trying to escape but was quickly evacuated by security operatives to the General Hospital in Bangi, where she is receiving treatment.

Police and vigilante operatives responded swiftly, but the attackers fled before they arrived.

Security agencies say efforts are underway to track down the suspects and bring them to justice.

Residents were urged to remain alert and report suspicious movements to support ongoing counter-banditry operations in the area.
