A 75-year-old woman named Amina Abu-Shaki, the spouse of the Sarkin Noma from the Kabe Community in the Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State, is said to have been killed by armed robbers.

It was reported that the woman died instantly after being shot in her hiding spot while trying to escape during an attack on Kabe Community by thieves around 8pm on Tuesday.

Mallam Awwalu, a local inhabitant, shared with Daily Trust that the assailants, who arrived in significant numbers, entered the community approximately 8pm on Tuesday, shooting randomly and prompting residents to seek refuge.

“The terrorists attacked our neighborhood around 8pm on Tuesday. They robbed numerous stores and took food items and valuable items. Thank goodness they didn’t take anyone hostage, but an elderly woman, approximately 75 years old, was shot and died right there. She was shot while she was hiding. She was seen in the bushes and was shot,” he said.

Awwalu mentioned that numerous villages and communities in the region have been abandoned because of renewed assaults by thieves.
