Daily Trust - How bandit attacks turned North West villages

While some of the villages have been deserted completely, others are just there in name considering that the people no longer live a normal life.
While women and children live at the mercy of the bandits, men, especially those seen as “prosperous” have no option than to flee to safer locations.
Over 100 villages sacked in Kaduna State
Years of insecurity in parts of Kaduna State have led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people who have fled their homes for refuge in other parts of the state.
A chunk of Kaduna’s insecurity rests in about 10 local government areas including Zangon Kataf, Sanga, Kaura, Kauru, Jema’a, Birnin Gwari, Chikun, Giwa, Igabi and Kajuru LGAs.
