VIDEO: Bandits in Military and Police uniforms celebrating their victory over Buhari govt

Scores of gunmen suspected to be bandits in Zamfara State were celebrating their victory over the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari with heavy gunshots.

A viral video shows the bandits in military and police uniforms rendering shouts of joy and dancing in an undisclosed bushy area.

Though the date of the video is unknown, a source said that the gunmen were “celebrating their recent victory over the Muhammadu Buhari-led government.”

The gunmen were also seen firing gunshots indiscriminately.

“Pray for North, pray for Nigeria, these are Fulani bandits celebrating their victory over the Nigerian government openly with heavy guns,” a source said.

Under the Buhari-led government, Niger, Katsina, Zamfara, Sokoto and many other states in North-west and North-central Nigeria have been bedevilled by bandit attacks.

The bandits kill and kidnap at will in the affected states.

Many citizens have been killed and many others, including students, have been abducted by the bandits or other forms of insurgents.

For instance, in the early hour of July 5, over 100 students of Bethel Baptist High School in Damishi, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna state were abducted.

In February 2018, 110 schoolgirls were also abducted by Boko Haram from the Government Girls’ Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State. Five died in the process while others were later released, except Leah Sharibu, a Christian girl who refused to renounce her faith.
