Panic and mass displacement have gripped parts of Nasarawa State as thousands of residents from communities around Aso, Mararaba, Masaka, Gida Ogiri, Akyawa Baka, and Odeni Gida flee on foot following fresh waves of armed bandit attacks.
Disturbing videos show men, women, and children trekking long distances with their belongings, as homes are set ablaze and entire communities emptied.
Reports indicate multiple deaths, with families abandoning farmlands and properties to escape further violence.
Eyewitness accounts reveal that attacks were swift and brutal, with security forces arriving late, forcing residents to rely on self-evacuation.
Many displaced persons are now sleeping in open spaces or overcrowded camps, with humanitarian needs rapidly worsening.
