Residents of Rukukuje, in the Rijau axis of Niger State, are reportedly fleeing their homes amid fears of a fresh advance by armed bandits from neighbouring Zamfara State.
According to reports, residents, including women and children, are heading towards Shambo in search of safety. Footage circulating online shows large numbers of people crossing a river while carrying personal belongings and household supplies.
The reported development has raised fresh concerns about the safety of rural communities in the area, particularly those living close to the Niger–Zamfara border.
Residents are hoping for urgent intervention from security agencies and the government to protect vulnerable communities and prevent further displacement.
The full details of the reported security situation are still being verified.
What urgent measures should the government take to protect these communities?
