Students of the Government Science College Kagara, Niger State who were recently freed from captivity have revealed more information they gathered about the bandits.
One of the students said the bandits claimed there was no way they could succeed in their attacks without the help of informants in all their targeted areas.
Speaking to one of the students, (name withheld) on Monday, he said: “The bandits told us that their operations were always successful with the collaboration of informants whom they pay huge amounts of money.”
Adding, he said: “They bragged that, they have just started and that they have informants everywhere including in Minna (the Niger State capital) and within the government. Before they attack any area or any location targeted for attack, they get enough information from insiders.
“Informants are well paid”.
