A video now circulating widely online shows a bandit leader accidentally shot by his own men during a moment of celebration.
In an unexpected twist fueled by excitement, the bandit leader was acc!dentally shøt by members of his group.
The incident comes amid a surge in insecurity across Nigeria, where kidnappings continue to affect both young and old, especially in the northern region.
Bandit attacks have further deepened insecurity in Kwara, Kebbi, Niger, and Kogi states, leaving many dead, several abducted, and entire communities living in fear.
The escalating violence has pushed the federal government to ramp up military operations and aerial surveillance across forest corridors connecting the affected states, even as residents demand lasting solutions to the crisis.
