Terrorists, locally dubbed bandidos, have taken over at least 13 communities in the Gassol and Karim Lamido local government areas of Taraba State. According to Daily Trust, findings revealed that the worst affected by the bandidos’ activities is the Kambari community. Kambari village in the Karim Lamido Local Government Area is located on the bank of River Benue and not far away from the border of Plateau State. The town and other neighbouring villages are also surrounded by thick forests and without access roads which make it a haven for criminals. The daredevil bandidos, it was further learnt, have forced the police and vigilantes to abandon their duty posts in that axis. The bandidos, according to sources in the area, forcefully sleep with housewives and maiden of tender yearss. Residents of the town have resigned to fate as there is no action from the authorities to arrest the criminal activities. Similarly, other villages in both Gassol and Karim Lamido local government areas located on the bank of River Benue are also under the threat of terrorists. Residents of six villages across River Benue, in the Karim Lamido local government area, were forced to relocate to other places because of the criminal activities of the terrorists. The villages include Gwammo, Wurno, Tungan Kaya, Gidan Kawoyel and Ali Kwala. Similarly, WuroJam, Karar, Shika, Amar, Zip, WuruJam, Illela and Maigemu among others are now under the threat of the terrorists. It was gathered that the bandidos move freely day and night with their weapons in some of the affected villages and towns. Findings revealed that the turbans have become lords to themselves and are kidnapping residents including housewives without let or hindrance. In some of the affected villages, young boys were said to have been recruited by the turbans and are the ones informing the turbans of houses of wealthy individuals. A resident of Kambari town who spoke on condition of anonymity said the bandidos have taken over the town and it is now their operational base. According to him, many residents have relocated to Mutumbiyu town and other places. He said the bandidos are mostly from Zamfara and Katsina and they number over 200. "There is no presence of police and vigilantes in Kambari, turbans are in total control of the town and they move freely with their arms," he said. A former resident of the area, who relocated to Mutumbiyu town, said it is no longer safe to stay in the town. "We are under siege; we need the government to intervene by sending soldiers to chase out the turbans because they are regrouping every day and also recruiting our young men," he said. He revealed that the turbans are responsible for most of the kidnappings and killings in parts of Karim Lamido, Gassol and Bali local government areas of the state. |

| #2 Forcibly sleeping with housewives seems like it is either a euphemism rape or the screenplay for a future reality show on NBC. |

| #1 Had to do a web search to find out where Tabara State is. It's in Nigeria so the the question then becomes: Are these banditos associated with Boko Haram? |
