Bandits have killed one person and injured several others in the latest attack in Niger State. This time around, the bandits invaded Kapana Community in Munya Local Government Area of the state, where they also abducted 18 people.
The bandits were said to have stormed the community, Tuesday night, and in their usual style started shooting sporadically to scare the villagers.
The villagers who were caught unaware scrambled for safety during which one of them was felled by the bullet and several others injured. Those who were unlucky to escape especially women and children were kidnapped by the bandits and taken away.
