At around 1:00 am on Sunday, a group of armed Bandits invaded Lema community in the Mando area, directly opposite the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) in Igabi LGA. The attackers moved from house to house, firing sporadically to create panic and prevent resistance, before abducting eight residents. Among the victims was a pregnant woman who had come to care for her sick mother. A resident, Danladi Musa, recounted: “We were all afraid to step out of our houses because of the gunshots.” The Bandits fled into the night unchallenged.
