Gunmen suspected to be bandits have attacked Usubu community in Niger State, abducting young mothers and leaving behind their sick babies.

According to the report, the assailants stormed the community and forcefully took away women, many of them nursing mothers, while abandoning their infants, some less than a year old.

When will this horror end in Nigeria?,” Bakatsine wrote.
