Some states of Nigeria, especially in the center and northwest of its territory, are subject to incessant attacks by “bandits” – a term used in the country to refer to criminal gangs who commit massive robberies and kidnappings for large ransoms.
Violence continues despite repeated promises by outgoing Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari to root out the problem and send additional security forces to the area.
