According to him, in what seems like coordinated attacks, adjoining villages like Amale, Tunga and Adunu in Paikoro Local Government Area were not spared, “as the bandits left on their heels more deaths, destruction and abduction”.
While recalling that he had earlier cried out to President Muhammadu Buhari over the spate of the killings in his constituency, Sani-Musa said the situation in his constituency is becoming helpless, “as the bandits wreak unimaginable havoc on the people with no security succour in sight”.
