Outrage in Niger State as Vigilante Group Accused of Killing Three and Framing Them as Terrorists
A vigilante group in Mariga LGA, Niger State, is under investigation after security sources say it killed three men in Dusai Village on May 26, 2026. Sources allege the victims were unarmed when arrested and later found dead under suspicious circumstances. The group then presented a locally made AK-47 rifle and a motorcycle as “recovered” evidence, though initial accounts reported no weapons at the scene. Authorities have flagged inconsistencies in the vigilantes’ claims. Security officials are reviewing the incident and urging all local units to follow lawful arrest procedures and proper suspect handover.
