Hoodlums Attack Worshippers During Ramadan Prayer
Hoodlums in the wee hours of Friday blocked Kuta Road in Minna, Niger State, and attacked people going for Tahajud prayers.
It was gathered that the residents of the area have been facing hoodlum attacks in the past five days, as the attackers, armed with dangerous weapons, are openly holding the residents hostage.
A resident who spoke with Daily Trust about the incessant attack said the hoodlums’ main operations are in Kpakungu, Soje, Anguwan Daji, Limawa, and Ogbomosho, among other places.
The Niger State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Wasiu Abiodun, confirmed the incident.
He said police were on top of the situation.
According to him, “Police patrol teams have always been responding to the issue, and arrests were being made at every location of the scene.”
