Outside Jos an alert was raised that the bandits who used to play the game of hit and run are planning to hit Bokkos council area from the mid of December till the end of the yuletide.
According to the Intel people should celebrate only if they are on red alert meaning they must never drop their guards against the enemy
“Information reaching us that all the District and villages in Bokkos LGA and Mangu LGA should be proactive most especially from Saturday 14/12/2024 till January 29th 2025 that Fulani militias are fully prepared to cause attack on innocent people.
“GSM users should darken the screens of their mobile phones to reduce the brightness of light at night to conserve power even as phones should be fully charged daily.” Said the Intel from a reliable security source.
They also suggested that phones should be fully loaded with enough credit, at least 500 naira daily to be able to communicate with neighbors in case of distress.
The Intel also suggested that community leaders both elders and youths should collect contact numbers of the closest security personnel to them so they can easily raise alarm.
The chair of the Butura youth movement Comrade Magit Mandik also called on residents to report any movement of the suspected bandits around the council area even as residents intensify community communication to serve as an antidote to the antics of the suspected bandits.
Comrade Mandik called on residents to please take all security measures and information very serious so that the security agents will not be left in the dark concerning how to keep them alive.

By: Zagazola Makama
A group of suspected bandits have launched a brutal revenge attack on Tafoki village in the Fasakari Local Government Area of Katsina State, dumping several corpses at the entrance to the community.
Local sources told Zagazola Makama that the assailants, believed to be mostly in their 20s, arrived in the village on April 9, 2025, and positioned the bodies at the entrance. This attack is reportedly in retaliation for the deaths of three bandits killed by villagers in February 2025, after the criminals attempted to launch an assault on the village.
Among the slain bandits was Goje, a notorious leader who led the failed attack. Sources suggest that the bandits have since been abducting villagers, tying their hands behind their backs, and executing them with gunshots to the head. Afterward, the bandits return the bodies and dispose of them at the village entrance.
As families mourn, they are left to recover the decomposing remains of their loved ones, with some corpses already starting to decompose.
Villagers are left devastated, grappling with the trauma of the violence and the realization that their attempts to defend themselves against the bandits’ previous assault have now turned into deadly retribution.
