Our correspondent gathered that the first attack occurred in Tunga-Makeri on Friday, where the bandits killed six residents and set homes on fire.
The assailants reportedly moved to Paso on Saturday after encountering little resistance from security forces, burning more houses and a police station.
An eyewitness, Mohammed Ibrahim, said, “They moved to another village called Pisa again to carry out another operation. Seven people have been slaughtered by the bandits in Konkoso.
“This is how they destroyed the Pisa police outpost. So far, 26 deaths have been recorded in the Konkoso bandit attack.”
The Niger State Police Command confirmed the raid but did not comment on the burning of the police station.
Spokesman for the Command, Wasiu Abiodun, said a joint security team had been deployed to the area to assess the situation and rescue victims.
He stated, “On 14/2/2026 at about 6 am, a report was received indicating that at about 3 am, suspected bandits invaded Tunga-Makeri village via Shafachi district, Borgu LGA. During the attack, six people lost their lives.
“Some houses were also set ablaze, and a yet-to-be-ascertained number of persons were abducted, as the terrorists were also reported to have moved to Konkoso village. Other details are still sketchy.”
Security agencies continue operations in the affected communities to secure residents and recover abducted persons.
