A group of armed bandits and insurgents, disguised in veils, attacked Tudun-Fulani village near Bangi in Niger State, shooting and injuring a woman during an attempted abduction, the police said on Monday.

Zagazola report that the incident occurred on Nov. 29 at about 10 p.m. when about six armed men stormed the community and targeted one Hadiza Alh. Mande, who attempted to flee for safety. The attackers shot her as she tried to escape.

A combined team of policemen and vigilantes was immediately mobilised to the scene. The victim was rushed to the General Hospital, Bangi, where she is responding to treatment.

The attackers fled before the arrival of security personnel. The police said frantic efforts are ongoing to track down the suspects and bring them to justice.

The authorities urged residents to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious movements to security agencies to support ongoing counter-banditry operations in the area.
