Again, terrorists kill 13 vigilantes, abduct 30 in Niger community

Terrorists have killed 13 members of the vigilante corps and abducted 30 in Kusherki community in Rafi local government area of Niger State.

The terrorists carried out the attack after invading the community in large numbers on motorcycles shooting into the air.

The invasion took the vigilantes by surprise as they did not receive any intelligence report about the advancement of the terrorists.

A vigilante member, who survived the attack, disclosed the vigilantes engaged the terrorists in a fierce battle but were overpowered due to the sophisticated weapons of the terrorists.

The chairman of  Rafi local government council, Alhaji Usman Ayuba Katako, confirmed the incident but said he did not have the exact number of casualties or those abducted.

He said several people were injured during the attack. Nation
