Niger Attacks: Additional Troops Being Deployed, Says Senator Musa
Sani Musa, Senator representing Niger East Senatorial District, said additional troops are being deployed to communities affected by recent attacks in Niger State, as part of efforts to restore security in the troubled areas. He said, "Before leaving Abuja, I reached out to security authorities, and I was assured that additional troops are being deployed to the affected areas. The Niger State Government has also taken swift action to contain the situation."
Senator Musa described the attacks as unfortunate, noting that their pattern suggests non-conventional tactics. He expressed condolences to the families of those killed and reaffirmed the government's commitment to restoring peace in Shiroro and neighbouring communities. Dr. Bala Waziri, Chief Medical Director of the hospital, confirmed that several injured victims were brought to the facility. He said about 13 patients were initially admitted with gunshot wounds, fractures, and other trauma-related injuries. He added that additional cases were later received, including a patient who has since been stabilised.
Security agencies are said to be intensifying operations in the Shiroro axis, with efforts ongoing to track the attackers based on credible intelligence.
