The insurgents reportedly threatened to take over Shiroro Hydro Power Station, one of Nigeria’s largest power infrastructure.
Hundreds of communities domiciled in eight political wards in Niger State, are currently under the command of Boko Haram terrorists who have dislodged the Nigerian civil authorities.
Governor Abubakar Sani Bello had sounded a similar alarm after Boko Haram sacked villages and hoisted its flag in Kaure village of Shiroro LGA about six months ago. He explained the takeover has emboldened the insurgents to begin the recruitment process of new members, promising them sophisticated arms as well as teaching them tactics to bring down the government.
He therefore called on the federal government to force out the terrorists who seemed to have found a haven in Shiroro LGA.
