Farming and herding communities in the state have long been terrorised by the bandits who raid villages, steal cattle and kidnap residents for ransom.

In 2019, the state government entered a peace agreement with the gunmen.

No fewer than 15 brand new Hilux vehicles and cash gifts were also given to leaders of ‘repentant’ bandits by the governor in 2020.
