Terrorists have wreaked havoc on some communities of Borgu Local Council in Niger State.

A dependable source from the area disclosed that the terrorist gang carried out the attack for three consecutive  days, setting houses on fire,as well as killing no fewer than 26 people.

The Guardian had learnt that the terrorists began the invasion of the communities in Feyi in Borgu kingdom in the late hours of Thursday, 12th February, 2026 before spreading the attack to other communities of Tungan Makeri and Nkpaso villages.

According to another source who pleaded anonymity, “The terrorists started the attacks last Thursday night, and early hours of Friday in Feyi village and during the attack, six persons were killed.”

The source added that the criminals carried out their nefarious activities freely unchallenged, moving from one community to another and killing more people in the invaded communities.
