“The problem started when vigilante decided to help the community to deal with the bandits in their hideout.
“The bandits don’t allow us to go to farm, the vigilantes wanted to bring an end to this, but when they reached the bandits hideout they were overpowered and the bandits said since the community have decided to attack them, we will not have peace.”

“As you can see, about 2,000 people are displaced.”
The village head disclosed that due to the activities of the bandits, they no longer go to farm.
He said: “I spent over N2 million on my farm.
“Now for the past 25 days, I can’t go to farm due to bandits activities.”
