Bandits Monday night returned to Borgu LGA in Niger State and razed down a security outpost manned by the Nigeria Police Border Patrol Team at New Kalli village.
The attack came less than 48 hours after many traders and farmers were killed at Kasuwan Daji, also in the same LGA.
Sources said the attackers torched the room used as the police border patrol outpost, destroying officers’ belongings.
They also burnt residents’ farm produce.
Though no one was killed, the attack has raised fear and frustration among farmers in the area.
A local said the invaders came on motorcycles, set the officers’ accommodation on fire, destroyed farm produce, and carted away some personal items.
The Disaster Officer of Borgu Local Government, Musa Saidu, said security agencies had been notified and assessments were ongoing.
The spokesperson of the Niger State Police Command, Wasiu Abiodun, also confirmed the attack, saying “on January 4, 2026, at about 10:30pm, suspected bandits attacked the police border patrol nipping point located at Kale village, via Borgu LGA. The hoodlums were engaged in a fierce gun battle and were repelled by the police team. However, the security post was engulfed in fire during the exchange. Normalcy was later restored, and reinforcement has been deployed.”
