While the world is focusing it lenses on United States and Israel joint offensive against Iran, Some Nigerians can't sleep with their two eyes closed, with the nationwide (NW, NE, NC, SW) approach to the prevalent insecurity.
It was reported in Uso, a part of owo local government and political ward that pregnant women and other worshippers were kidnapped at the celestial church of Christ, leaving the survivors and other residents with restlessness and constant fear.
Niger State Governor, Umaru Mohammed Bago, has disclosed that more than 300,000 people have been displaced across 10 local government areas of the state due to insecurity.
Bago made this known while addressing journalists shortly after receiving humanitarian support from the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction at the Justice Idris Legbo Kutigi International Conference Centre in Minna, the Niger State Capital.
He said efforts to determine the exact number of displaced persons were still ongoing because of continuous attacks in the affected LGAs.
