Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Bandits who abducted 50 people from the Madaka Market in Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State have reportedly killed nine of the abductees.<\/p>\n

Apart from the 22 earlier killed during the attack, nine more persons abducted have been killed.<\/p>\n

The victims, mostly women, were abducted last Thursday and were being transported to the adjoining forest of the Allawa area when the bandits executed the brutal killings.<\/p>\n

According to the district head of Madaka, Isah Bawale Madaka, seven people were killed in Kukoki village while moving into the forest, with an additional two individuals losing their lives en route.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cIn Kukoki village while going into the forest around Shiroro local government area of Niger State they killed seven people and killed additional two people while moving towards the forest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Madaka also stated that over 30 bodies have been buried so far, raising questions about the bandits\u2019 motives as they have not demanded ransom for the abducted individuals.<\/p>\n

He stated that for the past few days, he had tried to keep tabs on the route of the bandits and how to ensure the safety of the people abducted.<\/p>\n

The Emir of Kalgara, Alhaji Ahmed Attahiru Gunna, and Hon Ismaila Modibbo, the representative of Rafi\/Shiroro\/Munya Federal Constituency, visited the injured victims to offer support and condolences.<\/p>\n
