Kebbi State: Bandits Threaten To Attack Community, Demand N100M
andits operating in parts of Kebbi South have demanded N100 million from Utouno community in Ngaski Local Government Area, threatening to launch an attack if their demand is not met.
The demand was reportedly conveyed through a letter addressed to the community leaders.
The threat comes amid growing security concerns in parts of Kebbi and neighbouring states, where armed groups have carried out deadly raids, kidnappings, and extortion in rural communities.
In the letter, the group warned residents not to treat the message lightly.
The group also referenced a previous attack on the Woro community in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State, where several people were reportedly killed after a similar warning was ignored.
Residents confirmed receipt of the letter, which they said has thrown the community into panic.
