Niger state government has appealed to the Nigerian army to redeploy its troops to communities bedevelled by terrorist attacks in the state.
The acting governor of the state, Mr Yakubu Garba, made the appeal in an interview with newsmen after the 3-day Fidda’u prayer for 13 people killed by bandits in Shiroro.
Garba said that the withdrawal of troops from Allawa and other communities had weakened the government’s efforts to eradicate insecurity in the state.
He said that the Bago-led administration had deployed strategies to end insecurity, which had brought safety to commuters along Kuta, Gwada, Zumba, and Erena roads in Shiroro council.
