Nigerians have been given a list of the most dangerous roads used by bandits to attack innocent Nigerians.
The list was made by motorists according to a report by Sahara Reporters.
Those who spoke to SaharaReporters lamented that deadly attacks on major roads had increased.
A motorist in Niger State, Sarki Ahmed, identified the Birnin-Gwari and Abuja-Kaduna roads as flashpoints for gruesome activities of kidnappers and armed robbers.
“The situation now in Niger State is terrible,” Ahmed told SaharaReporters. “The Birnin-Gwari Road is the most dangerous in the North-West for now, and that is the road that connects from Niger to Kaduna. Bandits have their branch on that road. Immediately they stop cars, they kidnap people, and they are still doing that.
“The villages in the Mariga Local Government Area have been taken over by bandits. People who have farms in those places are under much pressure. The bandits look at a farm. They know the worth of the farm. They have informants in town. They go to look for the farm owners. If they know that the produce is worth N3 million when harvested, they insist on collecting N1 million before the owner of the farm will be allowed to work on the farm.”
Another motorist, Kazeem Ahmed, identified the Minna-Birnin Kebbi, Kaduna-Kano and Sokoto-Gusau roads as the most insecure.
“The bandits were earlier interested in cows. They rustle cows and collect millions of naira from selling the cows. Now, they are interested in kidnapping people who travel.
