The Niger State Government has urged residents to go about their normal activities and disregard reports of bandit invasions in the state capital and other communities.
The Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Obed Nana, made this known in a statement on Thursday, assuring residents, particularly school authorities, that Niger State remains safe, secure, and conducive for teaching and learning.
The commissioner was reacting to reports of the invasion of some schools in Minna and its environs, as well as the alleged abduction of pupils, students, and teachers.
The reports sparked panic in some schools, resulting in the hurried closure of the affected institutions and the evacuation of pupils and teachers to their homes.
