Bandit Attacks Drive More Residents to Flee Bauchi Communities for Gombe

More residents of Gwana District in Alkaleri Local Government Area of Bauchi State are abandoning their homes as renewed bandit attacks continue to drive families from their communities.

While scores had earlier fled in the wake of deadly raids, additional residents have now joined the exodus, seeking safety in Kashere, Akko Local Government Area of Gombe State.

The persistent attacks have created an atmosphere of fear and insecurity, forcing families to leave behind their homes, farms, and livelihoods in search of safer environments.

The situation highlights the ongoing security challenges facing communities in Bauchi State and the broader North-East region, where banditry and armed attacks have displaced thousands of residents in recent years.

Local authorities are yet to issue a formal statement on the latest displacement, while community leaders continue to call for increased security presence and intervention to protect vulnerable populations.
