The Niger government has restated its commitment to flush out bandits and other criminal elements in the state.

Emmanuel Umar, the Commissioner of Local Government and Internal Security, disclosed this in an interview with journalists shortly after a meeting with the House of Assembly’s Committee on Local Government.

”Government is working towards increasing support to law enforcement agencies and conventional security organisations to mitigate against banditry activities ongoing,” Mr Umar.

The Niger commissioner added, ”I can assure you that efforts are on to flush out these bandits and criminal elements out of the state as well as mitigate their activities.”

Conflict Reporting is dangerous and risky. Our reporters constantly face life-threatening challenges, sometimes surviving ambushes, kidnap attempts and attacks by the whiskers as they travel and go into communities to get authentic and firsthand information. But we dare it every day, nonetheless, in order to keep you informed of the true situation of the victims, the trends in the conflicts and ultimately help in peace building processes. But these come at huge cost to us. We are therefore appealing to you to help our cause by donating to us through any of the following means. You can also donate working tools, which are even more primary to our work. We thank you sincerely as you help our cause.
