Bandits Occupying Military’s Training Camp In Niger Sack 23 Farming Communities
Nigeria may be face a worse food crisis soon as about 23 farming communities have fled their homes, following the occupation of a major military training camp in Kontagora Local Government Area in Niger State by armed bandits.
The sad development was revealed by the Niger State House of Assembly during a plenary session on Tuesday as they discussed the situation at Nagwamase Military Cantonment, a prominent military training site in Kontagora known for being one of Nigeria’s largest military training camps.
The training grounds, which cover an expansive area extending from Kontagora into parts of Mariga Local Government, have reportedly come under the control of heavily armed bandits.

This takeover, according to them has posed significant security risks, not only for the military personnel stationed there, but also for the local communities that rely on the cantonment’s stability for their own safety.
