Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>More than 200 terrorists have attacked communities in Kontagora, Mariga and Rijau local government areas in Niger State.<\/p>\n

They stormed the areas in a convoy of about 100 motorcycles and killed children at Bangi, a village in Mariga LGA.<\/p>\n

The assailants vandalized, burned, looted a number of houses and shops, stealing at least 250 cows along routes.<\/p>\n

The well-armed criminals operated \u201cfreely\u201d as they did during previous invasions, PRNigeria quoted a source.<\/p>\n

\u201cAside sacking Argida, Babugadi, Warari, Birnin Boga, Mogola and others, they also killed little children at Bangi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bandits rustled no fewer than 250 cattle, which they moved to the dense Maonda forest\u201d, he revealed.<\/p>\n

A military intelligence officer explained that bad weather prevented the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) from aerial bombardments.<\/p>\n

He said pilots are mindful of severe weather conditions due to adverse hazy weather including intense storms, poor visibility, high turbulence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey adhere strictly to the metrological warnings on the deterioration of horizontal visibility occasioned by a noticeable advection of dust that comes with associated risks and dangers\u201d, the officer added.<\/p>\n
