Bandits have dispossessed farmers of dozens of food items and cattle in villages in Wushishi Local Government Area, communities of Tashan Jirgi, Akare of Niger State between Monday and Wednesday.
Report has it that most of the residents have run away for their lives to Wushishi from the evils of kidnappers.
A source said that Abdulrashid Suleiman, a cattle dealer, had stopped business of cattle due to incessant attacks on communities.
According to the dealer of cattle: “I now do menial jobs because we have been attacked several times by rustlers. So, the cattle business is now very risky.
“I used to supply cattle as far as Lagos. In the Mariga LGA area, for instance, before now, each market day, you would see over 20 trailers loading cattle to other parts of the country, but you would hardly see one now.”
