Insecurity now exists at every corner of the country, especially in the north of Nigeria, they come with different names but their Modus Operandi is basically the same
Bandits

As usual with every underworld group in Nigeria, they bring the government to their Knees forcing them to negotiate- money and ransome change hands- the bandits in turn buy bigger and better equipment and stage a bigger attack.
